I am new to reloading and a friend is helping me develop loads for my
45-70 & 6.8SPC. Looks like 43.6gns of IMR4198 is the ticket.

Load development for my 6.8SPC. Looks like 26.6gns is the right load for it. I made my own targets for the thermal scope and put hand warmers behind them. Worked pretty well.

What rifle are you shooting with the 6.8? If an AR platform, those are all great looking groups.

I think that looks great. There's not a load there that WON'T work.
