I was wondering if anyone has used RL19, RL22 or IMR7828 with 100gr bullets in the 6MM Rem, and if so what have you found to be best?

For both the 243 and the 6mm I like IMR 3031 abt. 35 gr. in the 6mm.

4350 and 4064 have worked well in mine as well as in my 6ai

The rem test load for the 40x in either 243 or 6mmrem was 36/IMR3031 and if had 1/12 twist only thing change was bullet from 100gr to 80gr. May not be the fastest but gives small groups.

Even though the original post is old, I might as well jump in here, since others have.

5-shots at 200-yards.
Firearm: Ruger 77R in 6MM Remington
Optics: OLD Leupold 3x9
Case: Remington
Primer: Remington 9-1/2
Powder: 43.2 grains of IMR-4350
Bullet: Sierra 85 grain Hollow Point Boat Tail
Velocity: 3128 FPS @ 15' from muzzle

This has been my favorite load since 1968, and has resulted in one shot kills from 35 feet to 375 yards on animals as small as butterflys to as large as elk.
