You shoot 6xc?
Yep love mine but. Would rather keep it to varget or tac with a smaller case than 6xc

Varget or tac would be ideal for light bullets in 6xc.
I shoot ar comp with Berger 108s in 6xc. Stole that load from a highpower shooter using 8208. 34 grains at 2950.
Even ran it up to 3150 and it was shooting small.
I would do the 6xc with those powders you have.

6bra urban rifleman 12twist bbl.050fb barrel
Got real good data with TS15.5 and the 80s
33g nowhere is the max pressure so will find out tomorrow. But I can't imagine it could do any better.
To date, that combination has given me confidence to stretch on out and make some shots I wouldn't had otherwise took.
Knowing is better than guessing!!!

When I'd show my buddy best group of the day he'd say. Hey, there's powder burns on the target too!

One of my favorite rifles is a 12 twist chambered in zero freebore 6 BRA. It shoots good with bullets from 55-80 grain, although it could use a touch more room to keep the eighty grain bullets away from the donut area in the brass. I’ve shot coyotes, prairie dogs, and won a few club level varmint matches with it. Mine is a heavy varmint barrel which makes it a little front heavy. I think a light varmint contour is just about perfect for a varmint rifle.
Its just hard to choose between the 6xc and 6bra. When people post this @urbanrifleman
IF, i were to build an Exclusive Yote Hunting Rifle, it would be, a Short action Repeater ( Sub 8 pounds ), in 6 XC with, a 1-9 Twist,.. launching 87 gr. H-VLD Bergers or, 95 gr Classic Hunters,. fairly,.. FAST !
Nothing wrong with, the 12 Twist if, you like 60 to 80 grainer's, tho.
In Windy, Cold and at, Longer Range, conditions, I personally like, a little "More" Bullet, tho.

6xc is easier in a repeater.
