Load Data for 80gr Bergers?

[Crusader]

Guys,

I am a newbie here. Have a Savage LRPV in 6br with a 12 twist. I want to shoot the 80 bergers. Can someone give me both starting and maximum loads for powders VV N135, H-4895, and H-322?

Also, any opinions on which powder has worked best for you, what is your preferred load, etc, would help, too.

Thanks in advance.

In my LRPV 6BR 12tw. I'm shooting 80gr Berger's with 30.9Gr's vv-135 with 450 primers. That is about max in my rifle so start at 30.0Gr's and work up form there. vv-135 has been my best powder with the 70 threw 80 Gr bullet rang.

A very good load in my Cooper 6BR (1-10") is the 80 grain Berger FB using 29.7 VV-135 - CCI-450 for 3064 f/s. If I do my job they will put 5 in sub .250" at 100 yards.

Guys, the best I can tell Berger is now only making the varmint bullet in 80 grain......I wish the "match" version was still available. Has anyone tried the Fowler 80 grain bullets from the new manufacturer? Not a lot about them on this site.
