powder preference for 6BR

[rjtfroggy]

What is your choice for 6br, VV130, 133 or 135 using Berger 80gr. or Berger 105gr.? I was using IMR 4895 but I'm changing over to VV powders.

I like VV powders and with those to choose from 135 would be my choice however I won’t leave Varget it’s simply the best.

Varget for 105's in 1/8" twist and N-133 for 66's in 1/14" twist. H-322 actually grouped a little tighter than N-133 but, like you, I am trying to cut back on number of powders. Not giving up on Varget, though.

For your 80 grainers N-135 would be good and N-140 for the 105's. JMO

I've used N540, N150 and N140 with 105's. Yes, Varget for a long time, until I couldn't get it. Then went to VV and haven't gone back.

I've been using 30gr Varget under Berger 105gr Hybrid Targets with underwhelming results. I ran an OCW last week, I'm going to lose 1gr and give it another try.

I have a lb of H4895 inbound, just in case.

A couple guys have suggested RL 15.5 as well.

Until VV powders are unavailable again.... I used to use VV powders and switched when I couldn't get them a number of years back. Does no one remember trying to rustle up a pound or two of N133 or whatever? I found that my replacements worked better. So, I'm in the opposite camp on that one, even though my new go-to's are sketchy to find.

N140 w/ 108gr Berger shoots about 1/2 MOA at 600yds in my XTC rifle.

135 for 80's and N150 for 105's is what I use.

This is exactly my load with Bart's Daggers

I've been using VV N150 w/ VT 103's and Berger 105 Hybrids since I ran out of Varget; more availability and lower price.
