n8ess Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I want to experiment with some different loads for my BR, the rifle was supplied with the custom load below, which I must say do shoot well, I just fancy trying something a little different. It has 24inch barrel with 1-9 twist 80 grain Berger cci 450 primer Vit N140 32.8 grains 3086 FPS Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 This is my varmint load a shoots well in most 6mmBR's. 87 Vmax 30 gns N135 Fed GM primers BR4s work as well 10 thou off the lands gives a velocity of 2900 fps from my 24" barrel. Not sure weather your 9 twist will stabalise Berger 105 VLDs which I have had great results with my 8 twist. Powders which work well with these are N540 or N150.

n8ess Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Cheers Dave, I've heard the 87Vmax are good, have you tried any of the lighter weight Vmax? only I haven't heard them mentioned much in any posts, I thought they would shoot flatter than the heavier ones due to the higher velocity?

6mmBR Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 My 8 twist won't shoot anything lighter than the 87's she is throated for the longer 105's. So I couldn't get the lighter bullets near the lands and keep anything in the case. They also wouldn't shoot with large jumps to the lands. Your 9 twist may be different.

Guest varmartin Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have a 1-8 twist Kreiger tubed custom 6mmBr also throated for 105`s...but it also shoots 75 Vmax in the .2`s with the desired terminal effects... My load for the 75 Vmax is 33.5 grains or Reloader15, which fills the case to the bottom of the neck..@3250fps.... 90 Berger LTB`s over 31.5 R15 are just amazing and all shoot into a tiny bug hole.... My favorite load is 31.5 grains of R15 over a 95 Berger VLD......my 1000 yard Mellon load !...in the lands 0.005 90 Nosler BT`s are another very accurate Game load...but not shot them at any thing other than paper ...yet.
