Reloader 15 vs Varget with 95gr projectiles?

Hi Guys,
I'm piecing together a lightweight walk about varminter in 6mmBR with 22' barrel & suppressor. I'll be concentrating on
using projectiles in the 95gr weight range & providing the 95gr
Berger VLD shoots well this will be my choice of bullet.
Now I've read that reloader 15 gives 50-80 fps more for the same
pressure as Varget with heavy bullets & hoping this will help offsett the short barrel length that I've chosen for portability. Question is does reloader 15 still give a velocity advantage with the 95gr bullet weight range??
 
This post has my findings of RE-15, RE-17, and Varget with velocity data for 95 gr BIBs. Link to older post

In short, Varget < RE15 < RE17 in terms of speed. I got my best groups with RE15 and that is what I have settled on with the 95BIB. Still exploring options with the 95 Berger VLD. RE-17 is looking pretty good with it at higer speeds.
