G'Day Paringa,
Welcome.
I've used BM2 with the 100NBT and settled on 28.6gn in a Lapua case at 58mm OAL. 2,505fps out of a 19" barrel. BM2 is fast, even for the light 6.5 bullets and I only used it because we had no 8208 in the state at the time. I recommend 8208 for bullets up to 120gns and 2206H for 120 and above. the heavier bullets are good for range but if you're shooting game then light and fast is what I would do (and you're obviously already doing it).
I like the 100and 120NBT's.
I use a 6mm expander ball in a Forster FL die. So, for all but the most dinged cases the ball never touches the inside neck.
Klem
