Sierra load manual

[Paddyd]

I just got started playing with the 6BR Norma and data seems scarce. I also just started playing with Gordon's reloading tool, but am hesitant to just dream up unpublished loads with it. So, if any of you all have the latest manual by Sierra, does it have pages dedicated to the Norma version of 6BR? I just would like to know if it does before I go buy another loading manual. My Hornady book doesn't have any data for the Norma Chamber
Thanks much.

Yes there are a number of pages dedicated to the 6mm BR Norma in my 6th edition Sierra. Bullets from 55 gr to 110 gr.
My 5th edition does NOT list it

LoadData is a great resource since it is a collection of all published data in one place with search capabilities.

The sixth edition does, The loads are pretty light compared to the 6BR load page on this forum, but it is a good reference.

Sierra now has their data available online. Check it out before buying the manual.

That’s what I was referring to. Like on the 107’s it showing 27.1 grains of Varget as a maximum load where lots of recommendations on this forum are much more.

Is it hard to get low SD’s the BR cases?

Relatively easy, assuming good components and good workmanship.

I see that. I guess it is something like the 6PPC. Most shooters that compete run the PPC at appx 70KPSI because the custom actions are stronger than most factory ones and their best accuracy lies there. No loading manual will publish these hot loads. JMO

I gotta stop with the 243’s there so out dated and inefficient.

FYI.....VIHTA VUORI and LAPUA also list data for the 6 BR Norma.

Not going to try and change your mind, but I have guided lots of younger or small frame folks to their first elk while they were using a 243.

With a good bbl using the right twist for the given bullets, it can be a thing of beauty for a carry gun.

But... life can be too short.... so you should absolutely have a 6 BR before you leave the rock.

I was surprised to see that Sierra has no 6mm offerings between 60 and 70 grains. There are a lot of companies that make their living with 65-68 gr. bullets.
