The BLOG summaries state that IMR 4895 has good results. Does anyone have recommended loads for 6br? The reference in the BLOG doesn't give me any hints at a good startng point. Thanks for your help!

I used IMR 4895 with Berger 95s and Scenar 105s. Loads were nearly identical to Varget, but with about 3/10th grain less powder in the case of IMR 4895.
Barrels and powder lots vary. That means 30.5 might be max for some guys while others can shoot 31.0 or even 31.0. I suggest you start at 28.5 grains with the 105s and work up.
Sierra Bullets lists a max load of 28.7 grains with a Sierra 107, 2.375" Cartridge OAL. Sierra tends to be pretty conservative.
IMR4895 is also more temp-sensitive than Varget,though Varget is far from 'immune' to temp-related pressure issues).
