Gentleman, I am wondering what is a good resource for info on loads for 6 mmBR? My Hornady book has no info on that as well as other manuals I looked upon. I want to find what powders go with what bullets and what are the min and max loads.

Try www.hodgdon.com. They list data for their powders for the 6mmBR Remington (will work for Norma also).

Also pick up a copy of Modern Reloading Second Edition by Richard Lee. It has a couple pages full of loads for the 6BR for bullets from 55gr to 107gr.

Varget (if you can find any) will be one of your best friends in the 6BR.

I looked at this data before and I was wondering how come for the higher grain bullets the max values and speeds are listed so low. Reading through a variety of sources posted by competitive shooters it appears most have great results with loads of cca. 30 gr.

And how about 87 gr hornady for instance. It is not on the list.

Cat 64, you'll rarely find all the answers to all your reloading question in one place! For the 6mmBR, do what FW Conch suggests, and visit that site. Get ready to spend a few hours poking around on it. If you can't find an answer, post a question and I assure you that you will get some good, reliable responses. These guys and gals have done just about everything they can to and with a 6mmBR, and are more than willing to share their knowledge and experience with you!
