I am working with N140 in 6br for 90 gr bullets with an eye for 105 as well. I am a little concerned that the case is nowhere near full. Is that a problem, should I consider N150?
I get the same results with 103’s and 105’s. The only problem I have with it is you can’t find it!!N140 proved excellent accuracy, excellent consistency, and good velocities in my bra with 105’s
Can you tell me where to start with 540 for my 6br? Bat m, kriger and tracker stockN140 worked well in my 6br. I shot 95 gr bibs and 95 gr Bergers. The 105 vlds liked n540 better.

I started at 29.2 gr of N540 and worked up to 30.4 gr. at 30.4 gr, I got about 2800 FPS, no pressure signs at all. My rifle is an 8 twist, 26 inch Bartlein.Can you tell me where to start with 540 for my 6br? Bat m, kriger and tracker stock
