6BRA starting point

I’m switching from 6creed which I have a decent handle on to 6BRA which is a whole new world to me. I know varget seems to be go to powder, and lapua brass is the go to brass

Just had my 3rd 6BRA barrel chambered. H4895 has shot better then Varget in all three barrels.

30/4895/105/CCI450/2930fps shoots very well in my recently chambered 26" barrel.

29.5 H4895 for a fireform load with 105 hybrids .020 off cci450 Lapua brass shot consistent .2s at 100 fireforming. Velocity was 2890 in a 27 inch barrel. Formed loads shooting a 107 SMK with 29.9 grains of H4895 at 2893.

For fireform loads, I also use 29.5 grains of H4895 with 105 bergers. This gets me ~2920 fps and tiny groups, with an SD of ~5.

My current load for 6BRA is 30.3 grains H4895 with 105 bergers. Velocity is ~2970 fps with an SD of 3.

So I’ll track down some H4895

Okay, I guess I’ll lose a little bit of speed with a 26
