RE-15 with 68gr bullets

[Cbrown3020]

Is anyone using RE-15 with 65-68gr bullets in a 6BR? Would like to try this being that I have quite a bit of the powder. Just looking for a starting point and some information that it works.
Thanks Kevin

well as a ref point we shoot rl10x in ppc with 65-68..\
me thinks 15 will be too slow
you will never know till you try

Not that it matters much but which one, 6BR Rem or 6BR Norma? Sierra book says start at 27 grains.

REM version my Sierra book is older and I didn’t see any mention of RE-15 so thank you.

Try it. Might be a bit slow. So if they are 150 fps slower than an optimal powder but they make itty bitty little holes time after time.....you have a winner. Test, try, maybe get rewarded.

RL-15 is pretty close to Varget on the burn rate chart. Should work OK. Likely going to be dirty though (I find RL-15 to leave a lot of soot shooting mild loads with 105+ gn bullets,)

I've tried varget in a 8 twist 6br with 68 grain bullets with great success. Being rl15 is close in burn rate I would think it would work
