6BR load help

[doidge5781]

Just got off the phone to MAB/TSE my barrel is on its way, i dont have a load manual yet but my mates got all the gear i need except dies. If someone could give me a start load and powder for 65gr vmax's i would really appreciate it also what primer is recommended thanx in advance

Mate usual disclaimer applies.............loads are safe in my rifles etc,mate I use CCI BR4's,2208,you can start at 32.5gn's and work your way up.
I have settled on loads around the 33.5gn's maybe a little bit more ,Bearing in mind that I load for accuracy first and second with velocity third.
I have used 2219 and also BM2 but will have to dig up the data........which I will do.

Edit to add:loads are developed in Rem700's with bushed F/P's,1:14tw barrel's,Lapua brass,.270-.268 nk's.

Regards Chris.

Here's a couple you can work with as well although I don't shoot the 65 Vmax but with the 75 Vmax I load CCI BR4's and 32.6 grains of 2208.

I also load the 70 grain NBT or 70 grain Speer TNT with 33 grains of 2208 and CCI 450's.

I have tried the 60 grain Sierra Varminters with BM2 but can't find the piece of paper with the load on it at the moment.
All these rounds have been very accurate in usual 6BR style and devastating on everything. I think I prefer the NBT, it's a real hard hitter!

Cheers

Thanx for the help boys do you know if a 1-14" will stabilize the 58g vmax or is 60-70g the go?

[chris.tyne]

Mate 75gn and under will be good to go its only if you go heavier that you will have dramas with.
