6mmbr reloading

[cooperjb1308]

Hi guys, I’ve recently taken ownership of a rather nice Sako A2 in 6mmbr.
I have some loaded rounds for it but I’m looking to make a deer load for it and I’m wondering what powders that I have would work best with the 90-100gr bullets that I’m planning on using.
I have some 90gr ppu bullets that went well in a 243 and I’ll use them up while I have them.
I have 3 powders available now Lovex D073.4 (accurate 2230 equiv), win StaBall match and Rs60.
I’ll look at getting some more suitable powders down the line but which would work best now with what I’ve got?
Many thanks.
Jake

You could try Ramshot Big Game or N140.
I used Varget for my 95gr & 105gr loads but dropped onto 87 gr Vmax with N135.

I know it’s not on your list of powders you have, but N140 is what you need

I used reloader 15 and 100g game kings and that shot really well I also used this in my BRA for fire forming my brass and that also shot great.

At a tangent to your original question.
I use Vit N135 behind 65grain V Max and
N140 behind YewTree 80.1 TLR & 80.5 Standard Hunter, both deer legal.

70 grn Noslers with Varget. Not mine but had to load up some for my mate. His 6mm BR is his go too weapon. Laser accurate.

my powder to go to is vit 135 its hard not to make it shoot really well

For that weight class of bullets I use Reloder 15/ N203B.
For lighter bullets N135.

I am still running varget with sierra 100 grain bullets but will move on to N140 when the supplies run out.
R15 works also as dabbled with it in the BR because I was using it for the 6.5x47 at the time.
I am assuming the twist rate is around 1-8 for your BR?

 

[MilesW]

The Rs60 is probably the best of what you have to work with.

 

[cooperjb1308]

I have since acquired some rs52 to get started with. I’ll give that ago
