6mm ARC powder… Leverevolution?

[jeremy.b]

Small update:

87gr Absolute Hammer
Leverevolution
32.0gr 2930fps
32.3gr 2962fps
32.6gr 2966fps
32.9gr 3012fps

No pressure yet.

No groups on the above just a velocity ladder. Going to test a middle of the road load with Benchmark to see how it groups (probably the best temp stable powder I have on-hand and can get more of).

Could try out X-Terminator, as I hear it is fairly temp stable?? and gives a good fill-rate if I run out of case capacity with Benchmark.

I wonder if a faster powder would give you better velocity. Have you chatted with Steve at all about his suggestions?
I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on RL15, Pro Varmint, AR Comp, or N135. Seems they're all known for pushing bullets fast.

With the absolutes, I'd guess anything on up to H322 on the burn rate chart could have potential to touch the magic burn rate that many find with the AH's (that results 100+fps over conventional bullets in the same range).

Of course I also never found a magic powder combo with the 139 AH's out of my 270 win that would compete with RL 26 so...

This is the kids gun though, so anything pushing that little 87gr AH over 2900 is great for its intended uses. The plan remains pretty simple: test Lever (because I had load data from the Hammer forum) and do some limited testing with more temp stable powders to see if I can get lucky and land one with similar speeds to Lever (edit: and resonable accuracy of course )
