6BR and Bart's Avenger / Ultra... powder choice?

Bought a thousand of each and to save bullets and other stuff looking for a powder suggestions to speed up the process. 26 inch 12 twist barrel.
 
What weight bullets? I am surprised there is no mention of Varget. That would be my first choice.
 
Yes, both are 68 grain. Sorry forgot to mention that and should not have assumed. Bart's bullets are new to me and thought I would give them a try.
 
Wish I could get my hands on some N135....
It's the stuff of legends around the campfire, tales from old guys,..".I remember, before the great pandemic of health and safety rules, when you could send not-very-dangerous goods in the post.....tuppence a pound it was and shot any bullet through the same hole..."

I'll be glad when it will be easy to get powder again. So many choices but nothing to be found. Twice now I have found some powders I want and before I can check out,... it's out of stock!

You will like the Varget way better. I tried all the others and Varget shoots far better in both my 6br's 1-8 & 1-12 twist. 32-35gr in the 1-12 Although 33.2-33.4 is the sweet spot. 29-30gr for the 1-8 twist 29.6 is the sweet spot, 1-12 is in the low 2's and the 1-8 is in the low 1's. That's as good as I am. If I was better they would probably be less in size. The only thing I use the N135 for is the 80gr bullets in the 1-12 gun.
