    6mmBR Reloading with 100g Bergers...

    I have a few hundred 100g Bergers to load up but cant seem to find any load data for them, I can for 95's and 105's.
    I was thinking of using a load in between the both loads?

    Any advice, Cheers guys..

    Never seen a 100g 6mm Berger, in fact I can't even see it listed on their site? what type is it?

    Only ever loaded Sierras or AMAX in a BR.

    I often use 108gn Bergers in my 6mmbr with good results. I'm still using Varget but I will switch to Vit eventually, anything between 28.5 and 30.5 gn gives me around .5moa. Here's 45 consecutive shots at 109 yards (windy conditions so more concerned with vertical) while doing some initial load development. Settled on 29.6gn then started playing with seating depth.

    Cheers 1066
    I have Varget, N133 and H335 to mess around with...

    I've also found the lower end of loads tend to be the most accurate..
    4 shots here using 32.2grains of Varget, 75g V-Max-100 yards.

    I would be concentrating finding a load using Vit 135, it is "THE" powder for the BR case, substitute 105g data and you will be fine

    g = gram and gr.

    1g = 15.4gr

    Not something you'd want to mix up when reloading, right?

    Always preferred N140, especially on blistering hot days LOL!

    Agreed. I know that it also works with 70 grain bullets in the 6BR.
