Pet loads for 105gr BTHP with Varget

[StreetCred]

Just waiting for components to come in for a new 6mm GT build. This is my first 6mm rifle. Planning on using Varget. I've got a box of Hornady 105gr BTHP. Just looking for some guidance from people with more experience loading for this caliber. Thanks!

No direct experience yet, but I pulled this off the Hornady website last year. Data (at least for the 105s) appears to match what is in their 12th Edition Handbook.

 

[43.6N]

Start with 33gr Varget.
The Hornady load data from @nm.otter is worth saving for future reference.

Several people advocate for running lower than max pressure for this round for best accuracy.

2.5-2.6 gives a wide range of seating depth options.

I don't have my rifle yet so I'm not sure where the lands are going to be. Do 6mm'ers like a little bit of jump like the 6.5 Creedmoors do?

I’d treat it just like your Creedmoor
