6brx fireforming loads w/ H4895, AA2520, etc. due to lack of Varget

[savageboy]

Has anyone experimented w/ fireforming 6 Dasher/ BRX loads (I have 105gr. A Max, 105/ 108gr. Bergers that I was going to Jam and use 30gr. of Varget with. Just wondering since I have a good supply of several other powders, these have similar burn rates to Varget and RL15. I was planning on fireforming during a P-Dog hunt. Wondering what worked, accuracy, etc. I have a 1:8 6brx Brux barrel that I am using for FF loads.

anyone? looks like H4895 should work good as it is a good powder for the straight 6mmbr.

savageboy,

I have shot fast powders and light bullets to FF for my 6BRX, But I like heavier bullets. I use 29gr of Varget and 105 most of the time. H4895 would work fine, and it may work fine for full BRX loads also, never tried.

I use 30gr of H4895 with a 105 A-Max for fire-forming DASHER brass and it comes out near perfect after FF firing. Great accuracy also.

Thanks for the info. I thought it would work good!
