Savage 6mm lvrp loads

[robbor]

I need to dig out my new 6mm br lvrp out of the save that's been there a few years and get some loads going.
Any recommendations for a 9 twist lvrp?
Was thinking 87 vmax or 95 berger. I believe I have both those for my 243.

How about the “Favorite 6mm BR Loads” right above Your thread.

edit…Your rifle is currently shown as 1 in 8” twist ?

I have a Savage LRPV and it is 8 twist.
Did you rebarrel?

Lotta good info on the 6br section on here.

I did not rebarrel. I'll have to double check, thought it was a 9.

I think they came in 1:8 and 1:12.

I'll check, I know I didn't buy a 12 twist. If it's an 8, I'll have to go ad heavy as I can bc I'm sure the throat will be long. I had a 30" take off 6.5x284 years back and I sold it bc the throat was so long new

Your correct good sir, it's an 8 twist

Savage only made 1 in 12 and 1 in 8 Twists Barrels on 6mmBr the LRPV rifles.

Savage barrels are all long throated.

Berger 105gr VLD's work great for me with between 29.5-30.5 of Varget. Mine was best at 29.6

Robbor,
I have only shot heavy bullets out of my 6mmBR LRPV because that is what I could get locally.
Berger 108 has shot pretty consistent 3s and the best yet group was a .232.
I am using IMR 4895 and am seating .010 into the lands with cci BR4 primers and Lapua brass.
I am still learning how to drive this rifle and will do more development when it warms up
here in MA.
Mine is a consistent less than 1/2 MOA at 100 yards when I do my part.
