    6 mm remington

    Correct me if I'm wrong but should I use a faster powder for a 6mm in a remington 600 with a 18" barrel all the data I see is for a 22" barrel

    I don’t think that is necessarily true. I’ve always just shot whatever my gun likes, but am curious to see what others say.

    I agree with the comment above. Every gun is different and you are going to have to do some experimenting.

    If you're looking for velocity, a faster powder might help. If you don't have a chronograph, note the impact point (given the same sight picture). If the slower powder prints higher
    on the target, you're likely getting more velocity.
    But when accuracy is the goal you just have to keep trying powders/charges/seating depths/primers, etc.

    The where the bullet prints on the paper is not a solid indicator of velocity. I’ve had many occasion where slower loads actually hit higher on the paper than faster loads. It holds true sometimes, but not all the time.
