Shooters World Long Rifle powder.

[HEART OF TEXAS]

New to 6BR Norma. Good success using Varget, better grouping with Shooters World Long Rifle.
Norma brass, 26.8 grains over BR4 primers and shooting Hornady 105 BTHP Match. CBTO 1.768.

Used up all my bullets and switching to Berger 108 BT Target.
Has anyone tried these with Shooters World?

I'm shooting 29.1 gr Shooters World Precision Rifle with BR-4s in my 6br and 95 gr. Bib FB bullets. Still working on tuning seating depth, but ES has been very good.

My guess is your velocity is very low with your load. you can pull load data direct from Shooters World website here:

Reload Data - Shooters World

I feel sure their velocity is based on 24" test barrels but you are very near their published starting load and should have lots of room to go up and find a higher accuracy node if you desire.
I shoot SW Precision in Peterson brass with RP 7 1/2 primers and Berger 105 Hybrid. 29.7 grains is showing great velocity along with low SD and sub 1/2 MOA results.

26.8 of SW Long Rifle is giving me 2500 fps out of a 29" barrel. Not needing more speed as this load gives me a 0.5 MOA group at 100 yards as long as I do my part. It will hold 1 MOA at 400 yards.
Also, the SW website does not list 108 grain bullets, and Berger does not list SW powders.
