Pretty much what I get with 107's.Been reading too much over the past few days, head is spinning
Pretty new barrel, less than 100 rounds, 26" varmint contour, straight 6BR using Lapau brass, 450 CCI, mid 60s F today
105 B VLD -10 thou off lands
30 grains Varget, three shots avg = 2,775 fps, 30.4 gr Varget avg = 2,784 fps ... are those velocities in the ball park?
95 gr Berger VLD -10 off lands
29.7 gr Varget, six shot avg = 2,835 fps, 30.2 gr Varget six shot avg = 2,874 fps ... are those in the ball park?
Thx
How does your method start? Just a decent powder charge and adjusting oal to find tightest group? Usually oal is my last stepIf you do seating depth first, your powder windows will be wider. I don’t mean velocity because I couldnt care less, but the width of your accuracy nodes will be wider. I have testing this many, many times. Hope that helps.
Yep. I’ll start with a luke warm charge and an appropriate depth and start backing up .002 at a time until I get 3 groups in a row that are just a little dot then I’ll load .001 shorter than the longest of those 3 and start my powder.How does your method start?

WHY do you insist on clouding up 6BR thread with useless info about the 6XC?If, wanting 3,000 fps from 105's / 107's try,.. 40 grains of, StaBall in,.. a 6 XC
95 Bergers, go OVER, 3,100 fps with, 41 grs of StaBall ( 24 inch Barrel ) again from,.. a 6 XC
( My Coyote Load for, THIS,. Rifle )
107 gr. SMK's "Jammed" .012 / .015,.. Oh, My !!!

This info, in the hands of someone who may misread, could be dangerous!
Than you sir, I will definitely give it a tryYep. I’ll start with a luke warm charge and an appropriate depth and start backing up .002 at a time until I get 3 groups in a row that are just a little dot then I’ll load .001 shorter than the longest of those 3 and start my powder.
Might be the best thing I’ve ever done for improvement.
Appropriate length?…. For example, if it’s just a bench gun start with a square mark on the bullet. For VLD or hybrid in a hunting rifle start at the lands- you know, sensible haha.
If you do seating depth last, better have a heck of a forgiving combination. They exist, sure, but not worth rolling the dice to me.
Give it a try.
Again, we should learn to keep a thread on the correct path. Where did the OP mention 3,000FPS?I think the point of the post was if you want 3000 fps with a 105 get a 6xc. Not a 6br.

Where did the OP mention comparisons to he 6XC?
You were very good with the post on accuracy needs for the 6BR but cloud it up with YOUR FAVORITE!
It's ALL ABOUT the 6BR!!Sanity check is the name of the thread.
