H4895 for the 6BR?

[mattri]

Looking at the 6BR page on this site and they list 29gr of H4895 with a 105gr A-Max and 29.5gr of H4895 with 105gr Bergers- but Hodgdon lists 27gr of H4895 as max load with a 100gr Hornady SP and 27.5gr of H4895 as max load with a 107gr Sierra HPBT.

Obviously caution and all internet disclaimers apply but does anyone have experience with this powder and the heavier target bullets in the 6BR?

Thanks, Matt.

When I first set up my 6 BR, I couldn't find Varget. So I started with H 4895. Accuracy was not up to my expectations. When I got some Varget it was obvious that in my rifle, Varget was superior.

My first 6BR liked 29.5 of H4895 with 105-108 bullets.

To me, H4895 is a must try, in any of the 6BR`s ,BRX or Dasher.

I obtain excellent accuracy, velocity and ES with H4895 and 105 Hybrids. My load is more than typical listings, so I won't cite it. My brass is on the 28th firing and is clearly within acceptable limits. H4895 is a viable choice for 6BR and 105 class bullets.

H4895 really shines with the Berger 90 BT in a 1:10, too.

Hodgdon lists 27.5 gr H4895 for the 107gr Sierra HPBT in 6mm BR REMINGTON. Because the COAL is so much shorter for the Remington version, the powder capacity is less.
