What speeds are you seeing with 55-60 gr bullets and 68-70 gr bullets in the 6BRA?? I have a Krieger barrel that was done by Alex Wheeler with .272 Neck and Zero freebore. I just fixed it to my action yesterday. So far its impressed me with the speed of a 68 gr match bullet and IMR8208 powder. 3759 fps fireforming!

Sounds like you are maxed out. 8208 is my favorite powder. Mine is a GH gun. 58 Vmax in my 6BR I don't like to push beyond 3580 fps, 20+ reloads on the cases. Have a 6BRX have not shot more than a couple hundred shots so far. A case full of powder I get a little over 3700 fps. I am trying to quit experimenting and just use the same load every year.
