Barnes Varmint Grenade - the 6mm Version

Firstoff, let me say that I did a quick perusal via the search function and could only find postings regarding the .22 caliber versions. I am interested in the loading the 62 grain 6mm version in my 6mm Remington and am wondering if anyone has tried this bullet yet. Looking for some starting loads, please.

Thanks, Mucho!

Looks like until we get ahold of Barnes...we are on our own!

Well, I doubt it's that much different from any other bullet in the same weight.
Besides starting loads in "someone's" rifle aren't necisarily "right" in yours.

I'd start with Hornady's data for the 65gr V-Max.
and work (cautiously) from there.

38gr of Varget then up?
