Barnes 105 gr. Match Burners 6mm BR

Due to bullets being harder to come by and/or extremely expensive. I purchased 500 Barnes 6 mm 105 gr. Match Burners. My thought was, I would use these in my 6mm BR for practice and fun and save my Berger and Sierras for when things get back to normal (or more normal).
unfortunately Barnes does not have 6mm BR data (at least from what I can find). Has anyone used these in a 6mm BR?
Any thoughts or opinions would be great. Thanks!
 
I found they were similar to the Nosler 105CC. 29.8 of RL15 about .010 off worked well enough to ring steel. Not bad for an economy bullet when you can find them for < $120/500.
 
New bullet = new load work up. They should work and may surprise you. I bought some Barnes Match Burners for my 223s for the same reason. My guns liked them! They out shot my Sierras! Not as good as the Bergers but for casual shooting, they’re pretty good bullets.
 
Like Dale264 I have found Lapua brass, Rem 7 1/2 primer, 29.5 gr of Varget, jumping 0.010". I used this load at 600 yds F-Class and it performed as well as the 105 Berger Hybrid score wise. Mabey a few less X's. It did seem to drop slightly more with a gusty 7 O'clock wind if it caught you.
 
Playing with them with sw precision so far 30 grains 60 tho jump has looked good. I have been shooting the 112s in a 6 creed for 3 barrels worth
