Sherman Wildcat Reloading Data is Here!!!

[Mike Matteson]

I have put together data from the many shooters that emailed/PM'd me. Here is what I have so far but I am still asking for more data to be PM'd to me so I can continue to add to this.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this.
As always this data is for specific rifles and should be worked up to find what is safe in your rifle.

Thanks for the reloading data.

Idaho Trecker,
Still no data for the 6.5 Sherman Max???

 

[Idaho Trecker]

I havent received any data for a long time from anyone on anything. It takes a lot of time to go through every thread started or posts here. I need people to PM me with all of the info for their loads with all the info seen in the PDF.
thanks

I understand. I'm the one posting all the data for the new Absolute Hammers from Steve and Brian @ Hammer Bullets!

Thinking about building a 6mm SST in a lightweight setup. Any data on shorter barrel lengths? The published data is with a 27" 7.5tw.

Haha quite the salesman I see! 20" won't be spitting powder out the end of the tube? Enough powder that velocity shouldn't be a concern regardless of length, but there might be a point where full burn can't be achieved.

Below 20" is where it dropped fast according to some tests a respected client ran.

I haven't finished load development for my 7ss yet. But hunting season got here so I went with what I had. I'm running a 20" paradigm carbon barrel, suppressed.

Once fired, fireformed 7SS brass
175gr Berger Elite Hunters
62.0 gr RL 26
2.900" COAL
2846 Fps with 3.6 SD.
Well under 1/2".

I didn't hit pressure at 62.0, but it was as high as I went in my original ladder and didn't have time to do another. Undecided if I'm gonna try to push it further, because it's hammering as is. 2846 fps and 3.6 SD, probably close to .3" and laying down the animals. 2 deer and 2 hogs down, all bang flops except one deer ran about 20 yards. This is a fantastic cartridge/bullet combo.
