Looking for loads for the 90 grainers
Did search and found a couple things not much

I'm thinking this might be a good combination for
The tack driver match this fall

I had really good results with Hornady's 95gr SST loaded light for 300yds. I don't remember without my load data in front of me but I'm thinking it was around 29.6gr of RL15.
Right now I have my 6BR shooting bug holes at 200 yards with 107gr SMK's loaded really slow like 2466 fps loaded with 26.0gr of RL15.
 
So I did some testing today
90gr berger bt with varget and 8208
Varget shot decent at 3180 went up to 3300 and blanked the 205m and group opened way up
3180fps shot best group and score
Went to br4 they handled the 3300 but groups were bad
Gun didnt like the 8208 at all

Wasn't to impressed with the bra at 3180
my PPC with 67gr at 3480 handled the conditions better

Obviously all set ups will differ. My 6BRA loves 8208 with 95gn Sierras and Copperheads. It had its best accuracy and ES/SD with 8208 powder. Same with my straight 6BR. Only a sample size of 2 so doesn't mean much. I haven't tested either alongside my 6PPC shooting 66gn pills at 3400+ but suspect the BRA would punch through the wind better if not more accurate. What will conditions be like where you will be competing?

I normally shoot 100-200 yard group with a ppc
This rifle is purpose built for a The tack driver match this fall that will be a group and score at 300 meters in orangeburg sc
I was hoping for this combination to do better than my ppc in the wind at 300 meters
