6BR load data 104gr bullets

[46490]

I have a 7.5 twist 6BR and want to shoot 104gr BIB's bullets from 100 to 1000 yards. I know that I will have to work up loads for different distances - I just need a good starting that has been proven to limit the work up. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Every barrel is different.Try 29.5 -30.5
Varget
N140
I’m at 10 thousand in from touch
The 6 Br is really easy to make shoot . You will enjoy that caliber

Why different loads for different distances?

Never tried the 104 gr. but my 6BR did really well with

103 VAPOR TRAIL HPBT
POWDER 30.1 GR. H-VARGET PRIMER CCI BR-4

Work up from a lower charge. Your rifle will be different than mine.

Tuning 6 BR at 500 yards today

early this morning I took my reloading supplies and the Bat LG (listed in classifieds) to the range to tune it at 500 yards. Yes that orange dot is 1” Here are the results of today’s tuning session. Load data was using my Bullets at .005 off lands CCI 450m primers and Varget.

I didn't know if a 100 yard load would work for a 1000 yard range as well. Just trying to reduce the variables.

Not speaking for another guy but from my view he’s suggesting an incremental powder range to test -29.xx though 30.xx to find the optimum load for your application.
