Help with load analysis (6BR, 80GR Berger FB, N135)

Thank you…..I’m still looking at reamers hoping to find one available without special order but shortest free ore I’ve found on a no turn is .094, do you think that would still work with the 80g class bullets?

I believe that would work just fine.

Agreed. 104 fb would be my choice. 50 FB is too short.

Where are you guys maxing out with 8208 and varget with the br and these 80s?

I am going to try 80gr bergers. 6 br 1-8 twist throated for 105s I have n133, lt32 and varget. It will be a 200 - 300 yd gun. Where would you start ty Don

I know this is an older post but I am looking at chambering a 12 twist 6BR barrel and am looking for recommendations on reamer freebore length for shooting 80g bullets. Any guidance you’d be willing to share would be appreciated.

For shooting 80s I liked the BRA with .050 freebore in a 12 twist.
