I havent finished working up a load yet, but it looks like 29.8 gns of varget and the little berger 105 hyb @ 2840 is showing some promise.

Nice! I just had one of these built myself, it is amazing! I'm shooting 30gr Varget with the hybrids and 28.6gr h4895 with the 105 vlds. Is yours a repeater? I went with the wyatt's br box. It feeds really well but is kind of a pain to load. I usually load it single shot. It is easily the most accurate rifle I've ever shot.

That's beautifu, Bushman. Now all you need is a good Kuiu camo paint job on that stock.
Of all the rifles I own my 6BR remains my favorite. It's not packaged as nicely as yours (6BR Norma from Bartlein, Rem 700 SA on a Choate tactical stock with a Leupold V3 6.5-20x50) but it puts 'em in one ragged hole at 200 yards with 28.6 grains of Varget behind 107 Sierra MKs and 2750fps. gun)
It performs perfectly out to 600 yards, gets a bit tricky in the wind at 800 and I'm still working on improving its performance (or perhaps my performance ) at 1K. But it gets there just fine.
I have talked with guys who say they have successfully pushed the load over 30 grains of Varget but I can tell you that 30 grains is too much in my rifle (waaaay too much) with the chamber I have. With the results you're getting I suspect you'll find perfection with a bit of bullet seating adjustments.

No its not. And doesnt eject a spent case either.

Im not in too big of a hurry to try for that kind of accuracy until all the brass has been fireformed and the barrel has a few more rounds down it. And im not sure i can shoot that well anyways.

At 31 grains and 2925 fps i called it max, i was consistently getting distinct ejector marks. I imagine with a looser chamber and a longer throat 31 could be a usable load for someone.

I also think adjusting seating depth could remove some horizontal from that group but with dove season opening this weekend im not sure when i will get a chance to find out.

Bushman, you inspired me to post my 6br on here as well! My bolt is on the other side.

Cool id like to see it, even with the wacky action

Wish I had money for a rig like that!! It's nice!!

 

[Canadian Bushman]

Thank you. It all takes time

 

[Swgreen]

Nice looking rig

I have very similar to your gun specs.

Love 6BR. I thought it hasn't enough horsepower to reach 1,000 yards but it does!!!
I'm using it for PRS matches, 200 yards to 1,000 yards.
