Which published manuals have 6BR data?

[Bill2905]

I am searching for published load data for the 6BR (Norma or Remington). My Berger manual has a very good chapter on this cartridge and I have also found data from the Sierra manual online. For those of you who may own other popular manuals and don't mind checking, please let me know if your manual has any information on this cartridge (either version). I'm not opposed to acquiring another manual if it has plenty of good information.

I am aware of and have looked at the popular 6BR websites and have learned a lot from them as well.

Thanks

Thanks a bunch Ted. I was looking for something from Hornady on the 58gr and 65gr V-Max.

I use the Hodgdon reloading data site a lot. I think it's the best of all the powder manufacturers.

I think it's the best of all the powder manufacturers.I use them as well, ill take lee, hornady, lyman and hogdon, I dont start 10% below minimum, ill start on whichever one has the lowest then work up.. so far imo, lymans suggested powder has been the best so far.. i have so many cals I load for. For example when I built my first 6.5 grendel, I went with the powder lyman suggested could likely be where I find the keyhole load and they were correct on 123 and 129 gr 6.5 grendel, they were right on 62, 68 and 77 gr 5.56, they were right for 22-250.. im sure though on any given cal there are likely multiple powders that will give accuracy.

Kinda of off topic question, does anyone know if I can simply divide hash mark by over all distance it can travel and come up with 1/2-1/4 gr increments or will I need to actually do it by weight and make the hash marks accordingly?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200720/ba771ee83ab94ed653f3127ee14368c0.jpg

I couldn't say if those weights differences are linear in motion. I will say a trial weight carefully measured could be used to mark accurately. My biggest thing when using a beam scale was controlling the skate. When the base of the scale moves the calibration is affected by as much as a half grain.

Ive accidentally moved them just even so slight and then they are off. Ive came up with a few make shift rigs to help make sure I dont move them.. i mainly use those as my check scales to occasionally check my digital that ive come to trust. Ive noticed every now and then the tar will float but I dont have to recal just zero and re tar and they are good to go but even that floating goes away once they have been on awhile. As for carefully measuring as you suggested, that what I figured the best bet is

Are you asking about the scale marks on the beam or where the pointer is?

Regardless, they should be linear, IF the bearing has no 'center' spot. The RCBS scale I used to have had hash marks on the pointer area.

Yep, it is handy that way.

https://www.accurateshooter.com/cartridge-guides/6mmbr/Is it the one that requires subscription? I'm always hesitant to use John Doe load data unless it successfully cross references with power or well known manufacturers like lee, lyman, hornady, speer etc

I have never seen a subscription mentioned on this site. They do take donations.
Here is a link to their sponsors page.

The 6mmBR site has tons and tons of information about rifles, scopes, cartridges, loads and equipment for any kind of precision shooting. Some of the information can be a little outdated, such as what the current rage in cartridges, or if there is a newer gunsmith/accessory that may not be on their lists.
