what powder for 90gr

[cheek9075]

i need a powder that will work with 90gr berger in a 6mm br. i was using n540 but im out and havent been able to find any locally. any idea or suggestions..

I have had very good results with IMR 8208 XBR with 95 SMK's if that helps any.

I use n135 .Vihtavuori has 28.5gr to 31.5gr on their 6mmbr load data with 31.5 as the accuracy load.Always start low and look for high pressure signs.Every rifle is a little different so be careful when loading to max loads.

I believe the load data for the N135 listed above is for moly coated bullets. They tend to reduce the loads for naked bullets to keep the pressures safe, so you will want to be careful if using naked bullets when increasing your powder amounts to the listed levels.

Ive been using varget, 8208, RL-15 and 4895. Varget and 4895 come out on top in my 6br, 10 twist krieger.

They are all right!

All of these powders work well.

Test it for yourself, with your gun.

Find what works best for you.
