The load I'm using for my 6br with 1in8 Shilen barrel is 29.6gn Varget with 108gn Berger - It's a single shot Savage action and I load them out to the lands.

I'm using cci BR4's with lapua cases giving about 2875fps.

I see I have also had good results with the 69gn FB Berger's with 29.8gns Varget jumped 10 thou.
