6.8 western reloading

[Profex]

My browning max long range 6.8 western
Still refining the load
5 shots
100yds
175gr sierra TGK
Winchester brass 2.01 trim
Ramshot LRT 65.6gn
Fed GM215M primers

still need to chronograph after I bring pressure up a bit more, but super happy with the Xbolt at the moment. Anyone else playing around with 6.8W loads?

Any reason you went with a 156gr and not the 168?

Bam a Lam. Looks like you have a shooter for sure! Love seeing factory rifles shooting small groups with hunting bullets!!
