30.0gr TO 30.5gr VARGET.
CCI450 not listed but go get some !!!!!!!
Jam a 105gr bullet .010" to .020"

Get a good front and rear rest that will ride that wide *** fore end of that stock. And learn to fire free recoil.
 
Last 600 yard target.

I mainly use Varget in my 6BR. After doing a ladder test with each one of them I settled on 30.2 grs. for the 105 Amax which gives 2830 fps out of my 26" 8 twist barrel. 29.8 grs. behind the 107 matchking gives me 2780 and is my most accurate load. I shoot the Amax at prairie dogs and the matchkings at steel. I use CCI 450 primers in Lapua brass.

Stick to CCI 450 or BR-4 primers in the 6BR. They have thicker cup material than most other small rifle primers and handle pressure better.
