100-200 yd. Benchrest loads for 6BR 1-14 w/68g bullet

What are your favorite Benchrest loads for the 6BR when using a 68g bullet? I have a Remington 40X with 22 inch barrel and a 1-14 twist.

Thanks,

Ed

I use 33.3gn N135 behind the Berger 68gn match.
That is with temp 10-20deg celsius,
When temp drops below 10deg celsius I use 33.5gn N135.

I also shoot 33.5 grs. of N 135 using 68 Bergers in my 14 twist at 100-300 yards.

In my 6mmBR w/Krieger 14 twist barrel, I use 33 gr of Varget with 67 gr BIB's or 68 gr Berger's. Load density is perfect. Varget works for me, it's cheaper and I can buy it locally.

IMR 4064 works well for me! ;D

34.0 to 34.6 Varget with t-d coated bullets. Very accurate.

I go a little lighter with the 68s. 31.9 gr of N135, Fed 205M, +.005 seating, .002 tension, Norma brass.

Thanks for all the replies that I have gotten so far. I am surprised that so far no one seems to be using H 4895, Benchmark or H 322, or IMR 8208 XBR. I was thinking that Varget is a little to slow for the lighter bullets, I know a lot of people use it for the 105's etc.

I like 30.5 gr's RL10x with a 66 fowler bullet, lit by a cci 450 primer..010 off the rifeling.
I would be carefull with the 33 + grain load of N135..two of my 6BR's 14 twist 33.5 gr's will stick my bolt. useing a cci 450 primer...mine shoot's ok with 31.5 gr's N135 with a 68 gr but have to jam it hard to get it to shoot it.

32.5 of 8028 has produced good results but I like N135 better.

Ed all the powders you listed shoot well, it really depends on your barrel and what it likes, one of my 6BR's will shoot any thing that goes fast..it really like the RL10 or even N133..one barrel likes to shoot well at a little lower velocity. you will just have to experiment a little and find what it likes.
