Reloader 15.5 in Straight 6BR w/ 105's?

[HTSmith]

Anybody got this working and could you share your load? It's too expensive for me to use much of it, but I need alternatives to Varget. Thanks much.

People are generally shooting 15.5 within a couple tenth grain of varget across several BR varients. Take 1.5 off your BR load and start there.

30.5 seems to be the upper node.

So I got up to 30.5 Gr RE15.5 behind a 108 Berger today and got 2800 fps. Still room in the case and no pressure signs. The same amount of Varget gives me 2830 fps so this is in the ballpark for sure. I have a long throat so please don't start at these loads.

I've been finding very little differences in charge rates from Varget to other similar powders. I tried RL 15 and N150. Settle on N150 29.9 gr behind berger 105's. Same load I had developed in Varget. Really liking the N150
