Anyone have loads for 6brdx?

[BobW]

Just dropped my barrel off at the gunsmith. It's going to be chambered in 6brdx. It will be a 25lb heavy gun designed for 600 br and features a Shehane "Big Dawg" stock that was pillar bedded and finished by Preacher. It will have a 1.25 straight barrel on a Panda Action with an 8.5 twist. I want to shoot Berger 108 BT's. Rec'd my custom dies from Hornady and my Farley conversion to a Protector bag,to handle a 4" wide forearm with a bag that's 8" long) should be here Monday.

I'm thinking RL -15 or Varget, but can anyone can zero me in. My brass will be turned and when loaded should be .267-.268. Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Bob

rl 15 all the way start at 29 gr and work up once fireformed it will give you 50 to 70 fps over varget anyday
.267.268 is a great one pass clean up
shoot it love it

You will not find a better authority then Nathaniel Lambeth on the 6BRX

BRX and BRDX are two different cartridges, as I expect BobW knows.

BRDX is a 40 degree shoulder improved with longer neck than a Dasher. It sort of splits the difference between 6BR and 6mm Dasher. You'll need custom dies for the 6BRDX.

I have a 9 twist with a very very long throat,base of bullet with pressure ring is in the neck) BRDX shooting the 105 BIB flatbase. I am loading 34+ of RL15. 3130 fps and good accuracy.

I am in process of setting it back and going from neck turn to no neck turn neck and for 105 vlds.
