Try EPS 136 gr. 635 bullets. Most consistent bullets you will find. once your set up you will not need to sort bullets. They are all the same. Saves you a heap of time and frustration. I have shot around 13,000 of his 6mm bullets and no longer sit all winter sorting bullets and double seating when loading them. Yes I can make other bullets be competitive but only if I but lots of extra hours into each box. Get on the eps web site and give Jamie a call. You will see him on here as tinman.
I'll be interested to hear what you come up with.
Dont over look lapua 120L with H4350 40g-41g jammed in .005 these are killer @600yard and 1000y. The bc is not as high as some other bullets but the x count makes up for it. Also if you watch graf & son they're on sale for about $275. per 1000.
Don't know yet but they work good on paper.
on my gun with new barrel it shoots 130&140s same load. savage action new 28in brux barrel. this gun loves h-4350. have started shooting hybreds 140s. they are great. 1st group@ 100yds 3 shots .052 2nd @ 100yds 3 shots .073 10 shots @ 100 .184 3shots@400yds 1.048. took it out yesterday to 1400yds and hit 18in plate 4 out of 5 shots. I love this gun! all loads out of gun 40grs h-4350.
Hunting are noticeably more accurate than the target version. Berger tech will tell you that (thinner jacket) and I have confirmed it personally. If you check the supply houses, they have plenty of target VLD's but most are out of hunting. That alone should tell you something.
Hunting are more accurate. Berger confirms it and I have experienced it. I run 140's at 2790fps with RL17 out of a 26in BHW polygon. The 140 is a good choice. The BC is significantly greater than the 130's and you will catch up and pass them at longer ranges.
Mine shoots the 130 TMK'S very well also, 40.3 great h4350 and br2 or 450 primers, shoots the 130 VLD hunting bullets very well also at 40.1 gr
