6BR 300/400/500m match, which would bullet would you choose?

[marchx]

I have in my inventory 105gr BT Targets, 95 gr VLDs, 105gr Hybrids, 109 Hybrids. I use N140. I am shooting 28" Bartlein barrel 7.5 twist.
I was planning to go with 6.5 Creedmoor, but decided to give my 6BR a try. Is it capable of beating the 6.5s at 300/400/500m? It's an F-class event. We are shooting for score, 10-ring has 50mm radius. Which bullet from the list above would you pick?

They can all sing - which does the barrel like best?

 

[Bill Norris]

From your list above the 95 gr VLDs is the only one I have actual experience with and only at 100 yds. but the bullet is very accurate in my 6BRX 1 - 8 Twist and was easy to work up the load with Peterson brass POWDER RL-15 33.2 GR. PRIMER CCI 450M @ .005 jam. 3-SHOT GP. .084 M V @ 3100 5-SHOT GP. .208 M V @ 3125

At our match’s you might find 1 or 2 6.5s.
The other 18 or so guys will be using 6BR or some variant . I own (4) 6BRs and nothing else . A lot of guys are using 105s. I’ve been using 80g Berger FB with pretty good success as long as it’s not too windy and as long as I do my part . I’m usually the weak link .

 

[marchx]

I am also the weakest link. They all sing at 100m. The question is 400 and 500 m with a little wind. I never shot 6BR at such distance. I lean towards 105gr Hybrids and 30gr of N140.

I would test the two 105s and see which one is best.

A couple weeks ago i shot a tighter group at 500 yards with my Berger 80g FB than with my 105 VLD . Surprised the hell out of me !

As long as it’s a straight and well made arrow.

As a "Colonial" speaking to a Pom.. go for the 105's
I use my 6BR from 300mt to 1,000 yds and have been using 103's {seems to be an ideal weight though I have had good results from 107 Sierras} domestically made Copper Heads and have produced a 1 & 3/8" with them at 300mt with a 1:8 twist Benchmark barreled R5 tube gun.
Don't let anyone talk you out of using your mighty 6BR at distance... I took out the year in "F" Open against 6.5 CMs and a 6.5 x .284...

I currently run a 6BR 7.5 twist 30" Brux with the 105 Hybrids in Lapua brass. I mostly run Shooters World Precision/Lovex ???, but did have a few pounds of N140, and i shot my best score ever at a Mid range F Class event (600yards) with a 599-35X. I was running 30.1 grains of N140 seating the bullet -.020 off lands, shot amazing in my gun.
