I'll be working up some 6.8 loads this weekend.  I plan on trying a couple different 130 gr hornady bullets in addition to some 100 and 110 gr bullets I have from Remington, hornady, and sierra.  It will probably be the middle of next week before I get a chance to shoot them but I'll let you know how it works out.

I made it out yesterday between rain showers to shoot some of the loads I made up (100-130 grain bullets).  I'll post a range report under a new topic.
