6BR 55-70gr POWDER CHOICE

[Ackman]

My 24" 6BR is very accurate and fast with AA2230 and 55-58's. It's similar burning rate to those you list, with the exception of VV135 which is a bit slower. Try the VV powders, and 135 might surprise you.

Shoot mostly Hornady 58 gr VMax. Stocking up on 60 gr Sierra Varminter it is an exceptionally accurate bullet. Use nothing but 33.3 gr of 8208 now.

I found that 8208 worked pretty well, but I also found it to be a little peaky - running hot loads, it pressures out very quickly. Not much of an issue if you don't work the upper end of the load range, but could be if you do.

This might be a little late. Bart Sauter told me to use his 68 gr. Watson bullet and a primer and a powder. He told me to just play with them, but don't change anything except for the powder load. I chose LT-32 powder, Barts 68 gr Watson bullets and cci br4 primers. that was several years ago. I still use them today. that's all I use to this day. The LT-32 I am very happy with, but I am still learning to shoot too though.

I gotta add
I went out with my Savage LRPV with an Urbanrifleman 12 twist yesterday AM and shot a personal best 200 yard group.
Using VV N135, Bart's Avengers shot a .257 on a still morning.
The group before it was a .579 which is pretty good too.

For that bullet weight range I am using TAC and getting very good velocity with good accuracy. This is for p'dogs with 65 V-Max and 70 BK. I'm sure it's more temp sensitive but staying away from tip top loads think it will be OK.
