6MM BR powder load

[Motor Man]

Can someone point me to a source for the minimum and maximum powder load for Varget and H4895 when loading 6mm BR using Berger 105 match hybrid target bullet? Tried searching without success. My books do not list this caliber. I plan on using CCI 450 primer and Lapua brass.

Is there a a big difference between 6br and 6 dasher?A friend shoots the dasher ,I could call him to see a recommended starting point.

I went on the net and found this. http://www.6mmbr.com/6mmbr.html

It has data for a 105 Berger with H-4895 and Varget data with a 105 Scenar, this should get you in the Ball Park.

Flight762 beat me to it. His suggestion was the page I was going to recommend. I also shoot a 6mmbr, and the best info on this cartridge is on that sight. I also recommend checking out their forums, especially the one on reloading.

My load is 30.8gr Varget, 105 Scenar, CCI 450, Lapua brass, 0.012-0.013 off the lands, 268" bushing, I believe.

I have 6 x 45 bullets and brass 100 grain bullets 30 each if interested.

Dasher is fireformed from 6BR, it moves the neck a bit forward for more capacity. They are really funny looking cases, but they are amazingly efficient. That little tiny 6BR will push a 105gr at 2800-3000fps with great accuracy, and a Dasher will do better.

My suggestion would be to get a Berger reloading manual. They have data for most calibers using their bullets.

Thanks for the replys. Loaded up some cartridges from 29.5 grains up to 30.8 grains of Varget. Found both 29.8 and 30.8 to produce approx. 1/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards. Will still need to see if this was a fluke or can be consistently recreated, then try extending the yardage to see what happens.
