Great to see another member knows what chambering to use for the .24 cals! ;D

Obviously you're planning on the lighter stuff. What bullet do you have in mind?

Thanks Terry

The groups as of now haven't been that impressive for two reasons.1) the scope is crap.2) My boss gave me about 300 6mm cases
a hundred or so already loaded. He loaded them 5 or 6 years ago. He don't remember What powder he even used all he said was they wasn't loaded very hot because he shot them in a old 722 remington. If it don't shoot that good I can always use it for a boat anchor. It's heavy.

Thanks trappst
I had 70 Nosler b-tips in mind. Do you have any powder recommendations?

I don't have anything for the AI version. The barrel I had for a while was an 8 twist shooting the 105 A-max.

I'm currently using R-17 with 70g Noslers in my 12 twist 6mm Rem. I don't have a load finalized yet but so far it's showing good speed and very low velocity spreads.

My 6AI is a 1:9 twist and I shoot the 95 Bergers VLDs, 107 SMK, and the 105 AMax. I would look at the 75 Vmax or the 87 VMax. My coyote run is a 1:12 twist 28" std 6mm Rem and I use the 75 VMax and IMR 4831 with outstanding results. RE-19 might be a great powder.

This is a good read for a 6AI. http://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/gunweek042/

Luck with your new rifle, Tim
