6br loads for 14 twist--65 to 75 gr bullets

Just finishing a 6mmbr project--13 3/4 twist 4 grove Bartlein HV at 22in--should have it up and running in about a week you guys shooting similar rifles I would like to hear of your pet loads-- bullets in the 65 to 75 range only please--Thanks Neil
 
Not sure you'll want to hear this one Neal but both my 6BR 14 twist and 6ppc run on Ramshot X-Terminator and HBN coated 68gn bullets.
Considering the mileage on both those barrels the accuracy is astounding. Above 32 degrees that is ;)
 
You should try Berger 68g and Berger column bullets as well as Bart 68 ultra for bullets. The columns worked very well. Since I shoot year round and do not like to change powder loads I use XBR8208 and Varget for all of my 6BR and 6PPC shooting. 32.7g of Varget works best for my 6BR, giving acuracy as good as the PPC in a Lilja 3 groove.
Good shooting.

berger 68gr with 33.5gr N-135 and cci BR4 primer, almost as good as ppc....
 
I've had great success with 2015 but that's an older lot before it became the test bed for 40 different flavors of LT32.

Would like to get some LT32 but also would like to get another jug of the old 2015 I had.
 
You might want to try H4895. One of my 6MM BR's with custom 68 g bullets loves 31.1g. With 70g Sierra BTHP was using 30.7 g, and with the now discontinued Berger 70g match the same load of 30.7 g was also good.

+1 for N-135 and Precsicion Ballistics although the 68 gr. did not work all that well in my last barrel before this new one I installed Monday. Don's 66 gr. FBs worked best followed by Berger 65gr. WEB. I have some of the new column bullets to try in the new barrel along with all the others mentioned, but I am betting that I will have to bite the bullet (har har har) and cough up the $$$ for Don Lahr's excellent bullets if I want to shoot under .4 MOA at 200 yards this spring.......
