Powder recommendation for 6BRA Beginner

[Matt P]

H4895 spikes very quickly when running at the top end (where most want to run), I've found Re15 gives great results and velocity without the pressure that H4895 does. By all means use H4895, simply warning new shooters to go slow when working up loads or be prepared to lose cases.

Don't have a 6bra, but If I did,,, I would check out AR-Comp and LT-32 or LT-30. Just my thoughts.

I’d be careful with those two powders if you’re shoot the 105 gr range of bullets. It’s pretty Hot! Great for lighter bullets!

Are you referring to the LT powders?

Are you referring to the LT powders?

Yes I am! They are too hot for the heavy bullets! I tried it! It didn’t work out very well. Very hard on brass. After one shot the brass would not hold a primer.

On the other hand I have shot many thousands of 68 gr bullets with Lt 30 and Lt 32! Highly recommended that. I won the IBS Nationals Shooting LT32.

In the application of PRS where temp stability might be one of the most important powder traits, is there a preferred BRA powder? In my specific instance H4895 vs. Varget? I understand that H4895 has proven itself as the BRA favorite, but in the context of load/ temp stability.

I've tested H4895 in the BRA and it has proved to be quite temp stable. I think it was something like 20 or 25 fps from 35 degrees to 90 degrees.
