Just picked up a 6.5 Bullberry and was hoping to get some recommendations on loads that work for others. I have 120g Nosler Spitzer BTs and 120g Speer FB Hot-cor I use in 260 and 264 win-mag so I planned on starting there. The barrel has a 1-10 twist. Looking for an accurate medium range whitetail / hog load.

Yep, I think that is the one. Should be a good gun. I would definitely check out the BB website information and go from there. You got a great deal on that barrel! Just the dies alone are about 125 bucks these days!

You are correct, it was the barrel on gun broker, you guys are good. I have looked at the Bullberry website, but they only have loads for three powders, none of which I have on hand. I was going to start with Varget, working up loads based on similar 7-30 waters data and just ease into it. I've been looking for a 6.5 BB for several years now but finally bit the bullet, so to speak.
