88 grain Berger ?

[LoanHarvey]

What barrel twist are you using?

I believe Jim did an 8 tw.....

I shoot the Berger 88's in my 6BR. I originally tried the Hornady 87 V Max, but could never get the accuracy, so I switched to Berger 88's, and they shoot lights out.
6 BR, 8 twist, 104 FB (would use shorter free bore but I have my own reamer, and I am on my 3rd barrel).

My 6BR 1:8 twist Lilja on a XP100 action shoots the Berger 88 FB really well. I use them at 200 yard in VFS as our range has wicked wind, and the 68 gr FB I use at 100 yards would get lost at 200. The 68gr. FB is slightly more accurate at 199 though

I don't think you can go much shorter at all. That bullet goes way down in the neck.

I experimented with 75 V-Max in my straight 6BR 1-8" tw. Big jump AND super-accurate. Better than I had been able to get with 80 to 90 weight custom bullets, Bergers, Sierras, etc. And V-Max IS short!
