6mmBr load work up ??

I have a new 6mmBr rifle, just picked up last month. It's a Bat, MBR stock, 28",krieger. I'm goingto the range this Saturday and need to load some rounds. I loaded some already all same seating depth at .010" jam. Using 450 primers and Varget powder. I loaded from 29.0 - 30.6 grs. Question is this going to be too hot? I'll look for pressure signs while going up in charges. Bullet is Berger 95gr VLD.
Thankyou
 
I just broke in a Kreiger barrel in 6br . And my load shot best at 30.5 gr of varget . I worked up just like your doing and started a 29gr. Really didn't see no sign of pressure tho . Shot good I was shooting 105 hybrids
 
You're in the right range I end up around 30 in most of mine shooting 105 amax or vlds and that's not too hot so with 95s you should be fine but as someone mentioned Varget lots can vary a bunch it's a great powder but always start low as you may see big gains or losses between lots, that siad if I could get the gun to shoot with one var lot I could get it to shoot the same with another even if the charge changes a bit lot to lot.
 
Thankyou all again. I'll load a few more on lower side then. Can't wait to shoot. Gonna be a heat wave here Saturday....50 !!!! Then back to freezing again.
