6BRX 14 tw loads

[MarkS]

I just picked up a Bat action 6BRX 14 tw barrel to use for varmints. I have loaded for an 8tw but not 14 tw. I like N135 for my 6BR guns. I searched but do not find much load info. What powder are you guys using? I have N135, Varget, RL15, and N540. I have a good stock of 70 Blitzkings, and 68FB bullets.

Mark,

I've shot several semi loads of prairie dogs with my 6 Dashers and 55 grain Ballistic Tips and VV-133 in 14 twists. I've since moved up to the 70 grain Blitzkings too, and found 133 and 322 a bit fast, so your 135 should be about the perfect speed. I'm now using the old AA-2230-C powder,same as the new 2460)cause I've got a butt load of it. Not quite as painful to load when you shoot 4000 rds. a year at dogs. I haven't tried them, but I think the R-15/Varget powders may be a touch slow with the 70's.

Mark,
My favorite prarie dog round under 500 yd's is a 14 twist
6 dasher. I use 35.5 gr v-135 and the BRX should work with a similar load. I shoot the 70 Nos BT's. Action is a 40-XBR.
See you soon in Oak Ridge.

I have three 14tw Kreiger barrels and mine all three use the same load 30.4 RL7 + 58Gr Vmax, they all shoot great with good velocity. This powder seems a little fast but the load was given to me by a friend who has 6 guns and they all shoot it great so I tried it and It has saved me a ton of time and $ on load development. Whenever I get a new gun I try it I have never tried a second load. I am always the weak link.
