6BR LOAD HELP

I have a savage target action with a krieger 1x9 twist 28" barrel in 6BR I've been shooting 80 gr. Bergers, it loves any load I seem to use . I'm wondering what has been a common velocity node with these bullets and I'll just load to that. Most of my shooting with this gun will be at 300 yds. thanks for all replys
 
Was using Varget with one of my 6BRs', a Savage 1-9.25, with 75 & 85 gr. flat base HP. Results would vary: sometimes very good, other times ho-hum, 5 shot groups at 200). Switched to 30 grs. of N135, and the rifle came alive. 5 shots at 200 yd now averaging close to 1/2 moa, consistant. Chronographed velocity is 2990 fps.
 
Thanks for answer, a little more info I've loaded from 30 to 33 grains of varget 5 shot groups at 200 yards are from just under to just over,barely)1/4 MOA I'm happy with any of the loads they all excede my expectations I'm not a benchrest shooter but am intreigued by the sport. I figure there is a velocity node that is favored by you benchrest shooters I shot from 2800 to 3100 fps and all groups are consistantly better than I've ever shot in my life. Thanks BOB
