Load data for 95g Nosler partition or ballistic tip?

My 6BR has a 20" barrel with a 1 in 10 twist. My chronograph this morning showed 2707 fps with 50g Reloader 19 and the 95g ballistic tip. I would like a little more velocity with that
bullet. Does anyone have some good loads that would better this
from a 20" barrel?
 
Reloader 19 is too slow a powder for that bullet in the 6BR case. Suggest you start with Varget or RL15. You should be able to get close to 100% load density. Start at 30.0 and work up.

N140, IMR 4895, RamShot Big Game, would also be good choice for that bullet. You should be able to get to 2950 fps or better.
 
Thanks for the reply. I just noticed I put my 6mm Ackley improved load of 50g Reloader 19 when discussing the 6mmBR and the 95g bullet. I shot them both this morning. This is another case of "oldtimers" disease. Thanks again for the prompt reply. My top load so far velocity wise has been 29.6g Reloader 15 for 2707 fps.
