Anyone care to share their 6BRX @ VV-N140 load data? Did a search but did not see anything. Could have missed it I suppose. Thanks.

I never tried it but I would start with Varget data I think they are very close.
I shoot MR and LR prone with a sling.
I’m using Lapua brass and have .104 freebore. All bbls are Bartline .236 and either 7.5 or 8 twist and 5R rifling.
Have one BRX on an old 40X and another on a Barnard S action.
The 107 Sierra is my go to bullet. All of that qualifying done, I load from 33 to 33.5 of either Varget and now VV140. ( load disclaimer applies here, work up to those loads) Primers can be CCI 41, CCI 450s, or Russian SRM.
All my brass is set up for soft seating, so low neck tension and seating bullets long and let the rifling finish the seating job.
This loading has worked in 4 different bbls.
If the bbl doesn’t like that load, it’s not a good bbl.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the data guys. I plan to try N140 soon after I get some brass blown out. Waiting on the swamp to go back down. T S Debby dumped a few extra gallons of water on us yesterday and my shooting lane is flooded.
