6mm WOA need loading help

My 6mm WOA likes 65 and 75 vmax bullets with benchmark but I want to work up a load for 87gr Berger VLD's. Can some one get me started in the right direction with a couple good powders/loads? I'll want to get top velocity for hunting. The rifle is an AR with 22" barrel 1:9. Thank You
 
Not the WoA, but my 6x6.8 runs neck to neck bullet/weight charges.
22" BHW P3 barrel.
28g x8208 87vm 2910 fps
29g x8208 87vm 2993 fps
29g tac 87vm 2877 fps
Your case holds a little less capacity if I am right and these would get a start in yours Im sure even if not the vld bullet.
 
There is a slought decrease in case capacity in the WOA vs the 6X6.8, from Black Hole, so don't go overboard in straight adaptdation

On the 87 Hornady BTHP's out of my RPG built 6X6.8 24" I'm getting:

3041 29.0 8208
3081 30.0 8208
3078 30.2 RL15
3086 29.5 TAC
3153 31.5 CFE

Be aware this is a BHW 3P POLYGON Barrel. It will be faster than a standard rifled barrel. Also, this is my barrel, my fingers and my judgement.

Across the board on target a WOA, a DTI and a standrd 6X6.8 isn't going to make a spit of diferrence on deer, PD's or paper. It comes down to cost, availablity and your degree of interest in the intracacies of relaoding any of them.
