Help choose which load to go with 6br

Definitely need to be able to look at neck tension with more than one bushing once you have the powder and seat depth figured out if the groups are not where you think they should be. Annealing may be of help as well. I never anneal so I could not be of any help there.
What brand bushings do you use? The one I have is an uncoated redding. It's what came in the used wilson die when I bought it.
 
Bushing test 5-shot groups with my 30BR from a couple years ago just getting started with it.

Well shot a couple groups this morning with my boy. I'm really liking the 34.2gr blc2 .010" load. But I wanted to try some cci 400 primers as I have a bunch of them it did not like them lol. I also just had to try my favorite Leverevolution powder, well.....it shot pretty dang good and added another 100fps. I did shoot one of the most unique groups I've ever shot with one of the cci 400 loads. Here are some pictures. 1000004205.jpg1000004206.jpg1000004204.jpg
 
My wife just picked up a pound of n540 for me to try and she found some fed gold match primers also! I have never used the vit powders.
Your wife sounds like mine. She loves going into the shop (we need a licence over here) and the funny looks she gets when asking for very specific reloading components! I think 99% of the customers are male.
 
Well, I loaded up a few rounds with the n540. I had 15 bullets left so I loaded 5 weights .2 apart with 3 rounds each. Only shooting 3 round groups almost felt like cheating lol but I managed this group. Now I think it's time to load up a bunch and go shoot some chucks or squirrels or steel lol.

What ya think?

Yea, that dog will hunt no doubt.
 
I found a really good way to measure my groups. I fold all the petals in from the back and then put a piece of clear packing tape over them. It makes it nice and flat and easy to measure.

Oh and I just finished loading up 100 of them. Now to go shoot some steel.
