Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Anyone loading 6.8 Western?

Curious what worked for you.

I’ve managed to locate dies and some Nosler 170bt’s
Don’t have any brass yet but have some factory ammo to use then will have some brass.

175 Sierra TGK
Cci 250

Chronies at 2830 fps and very tight groups. Could go faster but matches browning factory load velocity in my rifle and have a cds dial set up that works for both

I’m fire sizing the 7mm SAUM brass I turned into 6.8 Western. I have to say though, I used a near minimum load of IMR 4955 and 165 ABLR’s, I’m impressed with the accuracy. Since I only have one pound of the IMR 4955, I don’t actually plan to use it for my actual loads. I’ve got Retumbo, H1000, Magpro, and H4831SC I plan on using for load development as of now.
