6 BR Load with 55 Gr & 58 Gr. bullets

[NCVarhtr]

I have two 6BR rifles with 1 in 14 twist.....# 4 barrels on Blueprinted 700 Actions, Jewel Triggers etc.. I had a reamer made with zero freebore to shoot the light 55gr. & 58 Gr. bullets, Mostly for Coyotes and Groundhogs...,I have some other calibers that shoot heavier bullets for windy days) I'm try to find a good bullet/powder combination for these rifles.I've been using H-322 and they group OK. Usually around 1/2" to 3/4".....Any suggestions including reloading techniques would be appreciated..I'm using Redding Competition dies and a wilson seater die now........I have found that by setting the shoulder back about .003 and sizing the body about .002 has improved groups a great deal.........I have a sizer die that sets the shoulder back but did not size the body at all and the groups opened up to 3/4" to 1"........I see all the comments about shooting in the 2's and 3's and I'm wondering what I need to do........Your thoughts and comments please...............

O.K. I actually may have something very similar to you as far as chamber goes. I tried 58gr v-max's with a few different powders. Not everyone will like this one but, I find RL-10x extremely accurate in some loads. Some,everyone) says it's a dirty powder. That's fine, I'm shooting for groups. 31.0 grains with the 58gr v-max has given me many 1/4" groups and one .158" group. Iseated them long and let the chaber seat them further. My target says the seating was 2.175, tht would be wih a neck bushing of .268. Another target said 2.131. All I know is I try to jam everything I can around .010 and go from there. Here's some others that worked well for me.

58 v-max
AA-2230 31.5-32.0
2.108 O.A.L. ,.010 jam)


58 v-max
H-322 30.0-30.5
2.108 O.A.L. ,.010 jam)


58 v-max
TAC 32.0
2.108 O.A.L. ,.010 jam)


58 v-max
H-4895 31.0
2.085 O.A.L.,don't remember why these were seated different)


55 Nos.Bal. Tips
BL-C 35.5
.010 jam

These have all worked well for me. REFERENCE THESE LOADS!!!
When trying loads I usually get into the "hot" area, and I don't remember were these fell in the books. All I know is I'll use them again...tootalloutdoors

I have used 35 grains of 748 with 55 Sierras and 58 Hornadys. 32.5 grains of H 322 and 34 grains of Varget with same bullets. All these shoot under 1/2 inch using a trued 700 action and 1 in 12 Pac Nor Barrel. My primer is CCI Magnums. Bullets are sized and seated using Wilson Dies. Bullets are seated just to touch the lands.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions.I shot some this weekend using your suggestions and the H-322 tightened my groups up a lot using some of your other ideas.....I tried the 55 gr. B Tip and seated in into the lands about .010 and my first group was less than .250....I seated the 58 Gr. V-Max into the lands about the same amount and they were very consistent at 5/16 to 3/8" ....Thats what I was looking for....Thanks again....
