Shooter1970,
Welcome to the 6mmBR club! I've been a member since March and can tell you that it is the easiest cartridge I've ever developed loads for. I shoot 105gr bullets out of a 30' 8-twist barrel, so my data won't help, however the 6mmBR link from janserson0 will get you started.
One note: You may find it difficult to pick from all the excellent loads your rifle will shoot! I shot 15 loads,3 bullets, 5 powder charges in increments of 0.3gr) with 3 samples of each load as a test. At 100 yards, all 45 shots went into about 0.5'! I had to test the load at 300 and then 600 yards to get meaningful data. It's the most amazing rifle I've ever shot.
Hope your shooting is just as successful!
Doug
