Sierra 85gr spire points?

I bought 1 box of a hundred 85gr Sierra spire points when I first started loading for 6mmBR thinking there would be a lot of load info and talk about them on this site. But I've never seen them mentioned and scarcely any load data.

Sierra makes damn good bullets for the .223 that was my main staple in the past. Do they not focus much on 6mmBR, or do they just not perform well in this caliber?
 
Ben,

I've been using Sierra #1515 80 grain Blitz bullets in my 6BR.

I load 30.5/IMR 4895/WSR primers. Quick load says 3171 FPS from my 30 inch Pac-nor .271 neck, 7.5 twist Super Match barrel. Chamber pressure shows at 46424 PSI. It's been shooting .5 MOA at 200 yards.
