Looking for someone that has tried N530 in their 6br or 6bra with 105 class bullets and what their experience was good, bad to fast or inaccurate.

I used it a few years ago in a 6BR with 105 Scenars after having 1/2 kg or so left over from using it in a 6.5 Grendel. Worked great, good accuracy, speed, safety up to 2850fps or so but in this barrel it shot best a less than that.

I'll go along with that. I would expect N530 to get to max pressure before usable velocity with 105s. IMR 4166 is in the same category - but if you are happy with a lower velocity - mine runs at 2870 -cleaned 500 yesterday with 105 Bergers slightly jammed.

I appreciate the response on the N530. Where is a good place to start with the N540 and what velocities were you getting with it?
