Berger Manual Question

[jb27]

I've been trying to find a manual with good info on 6mm BR Norma caliber. Most manuals have info for 6mm BR Rem, which is very similar to the Norma, but most manuals don't provide load info for heavier bullets 105/107 gr. I saw on Berger's website that they do have load info shown for the 6mm BR Norma in their manual. I was wondering if someone who owns their manual could take a look and confirm that they include info for 105 and 107 gr bullets.

Also, the powders I have and intend to use are VV N-135, Varget, Reloader 15. I plan to also pick up some H-4895. Is load info for these powders shown in the manual?

I will buy the manual if it has the info i'm looking for, but I don't want to buy it if it doesn't since i'm pretty much only looking for info for this caliber.

Thanks!!!

Try www.6mmbr.com search the load maps

I've spent a good bit of time there. The info they show only gives you one powder charge with no indication of whether it is the low/mid/max load. I'm planning on using their recommended powder rates, but I'd like to know where they sit with respect to the min/max loads for developing my own loads.

you could probably send an email to Berger and they'll run your cartridge/bullet weight combo through QuickLoad and copy/paste the data back to you

I have the manual, and it does cover 6mmBR. That's why I bought it.

It covers bullets from 60 grains through 115 grains. There is no mention of a 107 grain bullet, but they do have the 108's in there. The 105 grain bullet is covered.

Thanks. The 107's I have are Sierra MK's so that's understandable. Looks like I'll put a copy on order. Thanks!

Got my Berger manual yesterday. I was pleased with the powders they provided in the manual, as they covered a lot of the powders I have on hand (or intend to buy soon) (Varget, RE-15, IMR-4895, H-4895, VV N-135). Comparing the suggested loads on 6mmBR website to the min/max values shown in the Berger manual, the majority of 6mmBR's loads are above the manual's listed max charge. I checked a few other standard calibers between the Berger manual and some other manuals I have (Lyman in particular) and Berger is a good bit lower in other places too.

I actually bought the Berger manual, and can honestly say other than the Speer manual I recieved in a kit, it is the biggest dissapointment.
I understand today's legal ramifications, but it's way on the conservitive side.
