New to 264LBC - LR Load Data?

[oz]

I just received a set of Hornady 6.5 Grendel dies and I've started my research into some good loads to test.

I have a 600 yard range close by... we'll let this new build stretch 'er legs a bit. I'd like to work up some loads to test.

I'll be picking up a 20" .264LBC bull barrel from BHW. Haven't decided on brass, powder or projectiles yet. I have a bunch of Varget for my .308 loads I was considering using.

Any starting point suggestions for good 6.5g loads for a 20" barrel?

Almost all powder manufactures have data now. The bullet choice and powder choice are getting bigger by the day.
My personal favorite is 8208 or 322 with a 123 Amax

Thanks for your input. The 123 A-Max looked like a contender for me too. I've never used those powders before, so I'll include 'em for some of my test loads.
