The cartridge you're using would help.

jefats,

I just got a load worked for my 10 tw 6BR. Start with 31 gr of Varget and go up from there.

V-135 is good for the light bullets up to 87 gr in a 6 BR.
start with 30. 0 gr. That should work fine.

70 gr Nos BT works great in a 12 twist. 32.5 gr behind a
70 gr got a PD at 914 yd. for me with my Bryant 700 6 BR.
I never tried a 1,000 yd shot with the 70 gr. but if I take
it back, I will try the shot.

Thanks all.
I tried 30.5 grains Varget/F250M for 2996 f/s in my 26" Cooper. 4 shot group of .668" at 300 yards. Would have been five shot except I seated a primer in backward :-[ and didn't notice it until I was at the range.
