    6x45 (6mmx223)

    This is my first Wildcat I've ever tried reloading for. I have pretty much everything to load the round except for projectiles.

    I'm gonna try with H335 (because I have some on hand).

    So here's my question. Hodgdon website lists a bunch of bullet weights almost in increments of 5 starting at 60gr and going to 100. Can I use a bullet weight that isn't listed and if so, where do I start with load data?

    For example: Hodgdon has load data for a 90gr and 100gr. Nosler makes a 95gr hunting projectile I'd like to try. Can I? Do I start with 90gr load data and go from there?

    You should start with the 100gr data, and work up from there. It is much safer to start with data for a heavier weight bullet than a lower weight one.

    No problem. Keep us updated with your load development and any good loads you find.
