Load Specifications
Load data in caliber .600 N.E. with .620 | 825gr | CutEdge DGBR-HP bullet and 19 powders. The key underlying parameters are shown in the table above. The recommended powders for this cartridge and bullet combination are Accurate 4064, Accurate 2495 and SNPE Vectan Tubal 5000.
Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge. Since we have no control over the equipment and components used, any responsibility and liability for the results achieved is rejected.
Only powders/loads that match the current filter criteria are displayed: max pressure of a load ≤ 90% of max. standardized pressure, fill rate ≥ 80% and propellant combustion ≥ 95%. Use the sliders above the tables to adjust these thresholds.
Charge: Powder weight in grains. Start with the minimum load and work up carefully.
FR (Fill Rate): Case fill as a percentage. Values above 100% mean compressed loads.
MaxP / %: Maximum chamber pressure in bar and as a percentage of the standardized maximum for this caliber.
V(0): Muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) at the standardized barrel length.
z (Powder Burn): Estimated propellant combustion percentage at bullet exit.

Recommended = one of the top powders for this cartridge and bullet combination.
This overview compares 19 powders for .600 N.E. loaded with the .620 | 825gr | CutEdge DGBR-HP. Hodgdon BL-C2 delivers the highest muzzle velocity at 1,988 fps; across all powders the maximum-charge window runs from 1,273 fps to 1,988 fps. Hodgdon TrailBoss gives the best case fill at 98 %, and 19 of the 19 powders fall inside the usable 80–100 % fill window.
Relative to the caliber's maximum pressure (245 MPa), the top charges use 86–90 %, leaving at least 10 % headroom. Accurate 4064, Accurate 2495, SNPE Vectan Tubal 5000 rank at the top here: for .600 N.E. with the .620 | 825gr | CutEdge DGBR-HP they combine a high case fill with complete burn and sit in the upper velocity band. Always begin at the start load and work up in small increments while checking case and primer for pressure signs.
