6BR load data needed

[Mike Montgomery]

Need load data for a 6BR using Sierra 60 grain, flat base, hollow point bullets. The rifle has a Kreiger 12 twist, no turn neck chamber. I'm using Lapua brass and Federal 205M primers. What powder and loads are recommended?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies,
Mike

Terry,
Thanks for the information. However, none of the load data for the 6BR that I have found on Accurate Shooter includes data for this specific bullet.

The weight is key, brand not.

I have had great results with light bullets in a slow twist 6br. H335, H322, N133 are all great.

I'm going to throw this out, laugh if you wish, IMR 4227. I came across it on the Nosler manual, had some that I wasn't going to use anyway. With CCI 400 and no real load development, SD of 11, grouped in the hi .2". Out of varmint style rifle. Anyone ever really delved into this powder? Book recommends CCI 450's, I may dig into this a little further. 58 Hornady V Max. Velocity is on par with what the book indicates.

AA2230 (32.5 gr)=awesome (Dan Dowling) load. Easy to get .30” groups

 

[Mike Montgomery]

Thank you dbaird. I currently don't have any AA2230 but, I'll give it try when the craziness ends and components become more available.
Thanks,
Mike

This is from the 6th Edition Sierra Load Manual. Varget & H-4895 worked well for me with 6mmBR.

 

[Mike Montgomery]

Thanks Bill. Of the powders listed I have H335 and 8208. I'll give them a try. These bullets are very accurate in both my 6BR and 6ppc. Accuracy comparable to Barts Ultras.

WOW That's very good.

Benchmark or 8208 are your best bets.

I worked up to 3800 fps with 8208 with 58gr Hornadys and a 26" barrel. Most accurate was at 3705 fps though.

Sierra has a very nice FREE app for your phone with all their load data.

My 6BR was shooting sub 1/4 inch groups with Lapua brass 103 V T 30.1 gr. Varget CCI BR-4

CAUTION

Peterson weighs @ 10 grains more than Lapua brass. If copying a Lapua load I would reduce the charge by at least 1 full grain to begin load development.
