Sierra Manual for 6 BR, 95 Matchking, Varget

[joelkdouglas]

Gents,

Any of you with a recent Sierra load manual that can tell me the max charge and max velocity that Sierra lists for the 6 BR Norma, 95 grain Sierra Matchking, and Varget?

I have the Berger manual, it says 2820 fps (24 inch barrel), 30.3 grains Varget.

Quickload says 2950 fps, 31.5 grains max.

Nosler doesn't list the 6 BR Norma, and nothing in 6 BR Rem over 80 grains.

As normal I'll work up a load starting at a min load (Berger lists 27 grains for a starting charge) first. I also realize my rifle's max load won't be 30 or 31 grains--it could be 28, or whatever, depending on my barrel, my lot of Varget, etc.

Thanks!

...they don't show the 95gr. MatchKing in the new Sierra Manual or the on-line Manual, call them @ 800-233-8799, they should be able to help...

For a follow-up...the Sierra tech relayed some pretty conservative recommendations--27.5 grain max, for 2500 fps. It will be interesting to find out where the rifle's max with Varget is. The tech also relayed the Matchkings would probably shoot best somewhere from 0.010 jammed to 0.010 off the lands.
