6.5BR loads

[BR]

Does nayone have any load data/power recomendations for a 6.5BR, I have a 15" 1-9 twist pac-nor and will be shooting mostly 100-120gr bullets and maybe even some 140gr.

Thanks,

Brian

Just a suggestion, you could look over some of the loads for the 6.5 Grendel as they would be a decent reference.

Hodgdon has updated their web site to include numerous new calibers and loads. 6.5mmBR is one of them in both rifle and pistol. I would check that web site.
