Berger 6mm 105 Grain Match Hunting VLD Load data?

[Glocksig]

I'm looking for some load data for Berger 6mm 105 Grain Match Hunting VLD bullets in 6mm Rem. I currently shoot their 80 gr varmint bullet over 4064 and would like to use the same powder if possible.

Thanks!

Glock,

E-mail Berger and Walt will send you load data for your cartridge and which bullet you specify. Very good customer service.

Make sure you tell him which cartridge you want to load for-there are alot of 6mm cartridges out there.

I sent them an email yesterday, figured they would be a good source. I added the caliber back to the post, don't know how I missed that!

Here's what I got back from Berger. I would have liked to seen something with 4064 but I'll work on it.

4064 is probably on the fast side of what works for cases in the 6 Rem capacity range. As you've found it works with lighter bullets. Possible it might work with the 105/108 but in a shorter barrel.

Heavy bullets in longish,>26') barrels often work better with slower propellants.

Note too some of the loads provided are compressed so take your time once you pick a propellant to work up a load for.

Yeah I got the same response from them. I've got some 4831 but that's about it. I'll give that a shot first.
