Need some last minute reloading advice

[SS427]

I'm getting ready to load up my first 6BR rounds. Will be using 70 grain bullets in a 13.5 twist barrel.

I have 205M, Rem 7 1/2, and CCI400 primers. Which primer should I start with? I have Varget, H322 and VV133 powder to start with and plan to try all three.

In most all my rifles, .223, .22-250 and .270 Win, my most accurate rounds were almost always the mid range loads. Should I anticipate the same with the 6BR?

I shoot 70 gr Sierra BlitzKings fed205's and 30 grains Varget. I ahve not checked spped but groups under 3/4" at 100..going to be good for coyote and ground hogs..

The CCI 400 primers are soft like the Rem 6 1/2 and should not be used for full-power loads. Use the Rem 7 1/2 or CCI 450.

Use the 7 1/2's for primers.

I'd narrow down the powder down to 322 or 133, and start with the one you have the most of first.

You may not have to continue testing.....

The only thing to add is the 6br always seems to do better at the top end....

Thanks for the advice guys. I discovered 150 CCI450 primers last night at the bottom of my stash. From what I've read I figure to start with these.

I'm hoping this gun likes either Varget or H322. These are the powders my other guns like, and both are cheaper than 133.

My 14twist loves H322 and 70 gr. Nosler Ballistic tips.
