Most accurate bullet you have shot? (6mm)

As for custom bullets, it's been hard to beat the Fowler 66 flat base. It would shoot in all of my PPC's and slow twist 6br's. For production bullets shot in 8 - 12 twist the Sierra 85 grain BTHP Gameking and Berger 80 grain FB varmint bullet have had no equal in calibers from 6br, 6 Dasher, 6mm AI and a 6 Creedmoor.
 
I’m shooting 109 Bergers in a 6 bra, but my most accurate groups were with a 6 GT shooting Berger 108 BT. Short range at 300 yds at home . No long distance.
 
Ive shot some zero groups with Berger 6mm 65 grain flat base. They got discontinued when the column but came out, so I will have to try some thing new. But have no fear there is a bullet guy that knows what will work for me. Right Bart?
 
I'm not sure if Bart still makes these. You can contact him for more info. The boxes are marked SMBT 65 gr.
 
I got a few 68 g avengers on way to test. Gonna compare them to some 68g hotensteins.
Gonna use same charge. And do a seating depth test first go round. In two guns
 
Don't know if they would be considered competitive anymore,but I have a couple thousand 62 and 66 grain Pindell bullets and an equal pile of 62 grain Hasecuster bullets. They shoot great in my 6x45 and 700 6ppc,but those aren't exactly br guns.

Ohh! Those 65's! I ran across a sale when discontinued. I bought a few boxes for fireforming. They were better than anything I had ever shot. I recall calling Walt and asking him for load data - to which he replied they were not intended to shoot in a PPC, which I was. (they are very short!) Ordered several thousand of them before they were gone. Still have a bunch somewhere.

EDIT it was the 62 flat base Berger used/have that they discontinued that I liked so much. got ahead there....

In my Dasher and 6BR, the 105 Scenar L Bullet
In 6PPC, discontinued Berger 62 Or Barts Ultra (depended on barrel)
In .243 Win varmint rifle, 58 V-Max (no kidding)
Just depends on rifle....

If judged by one, single group and all barrels and bullets - the 58 V-Max, stoked with Rel 15 powder turned in a .078" group. Sadly (?), my best bench gun groups were slightly larger than that at best.
