6BRX, 95gr Berger VLD & IMR8208XBR - Anyone tried this combo?

[Fordnutter]

Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried the combination Berger 95gr VLD with IMR8208XBR in their 6BRX or Dasher? How did it shoot, what velocity's were you getting but more importantly how consistent? Is IMR8208 on Quickload? Has anyone keyed in this combo to see what predicted velocity & pressure is?

Have not tried it but 30-31 grains should be the ball park. I used to shoot 30.5 grains of H4895 in the BRX with 105s

8208 will give you excellent accuracy in either of those cases. Its problem is that it may pressure out with the 90-108 grain bullets before you reach the velocity you are looking for. 8208 works good up to about an 80 grain bullet for good accuracy and good velocity.

I did a seating depth test a few days ago in a Dasher with 8208 and an 80 Barts BT. I was shooting 32.6 grains and when the seating got correct, it rewarded me a .175" group at 200 yds with a velocity of about 3225. Next I will see where it pressures out.

I'll be surprised if you cant get to 3400 from a Dasher in a 24 inch or longer barrel

I am only hoping to get it up to 3320-3350 without pressure.
