Load for Velocity or Accuratecy

[robale]

I'm going to shoot my new 6mm BR at 600 yds. should I load for a higher velocity or the most accurate load. All replys will be welcome.

Regards,

Accuracy first, velocity second. If you get them both, great, if not go for accuracy.

At 600 yards go for acceptable muzzle velocity,2900 fps+ preferred in a 6BR) the best accuracy for a given bullet, with the lowest extreme spread you can get. Single digits preferred, since this has a direct effect on the amount of vertical at the target. Weigh every powder charge and check the concentricity of every loaded round looking for .0005 or less. The further out you get the more everything matters.
