Bart is a good option and ya might try @prologr too. He's making an excellent 22 cal bullet as well.

He shoots them pretty good to!

Yep. I know a lot of guys that have built guns around Danny's bullets. They do shoot good!

100,200,

I'm not criticizing just seeking enlightenment. If you're only shooting to 200 why use a 6MM?

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Charlie Hoods daughter was making 22 cal bullets. I think she still is

I think the light 6’s hold the records at 100 & 200 yds.

I shot best groups Iv shot in a long time with the New 65g Bt Barts. Them some good bullets. They gave a wide node of accuracy window. And I didn't sort any of the bullets.
Shot a test of 34 bullets. Every single bullet made a group with no flyers. I am happy with these.

And always best to have a back up plan if your best favored bullet is out
of stock everywhere, and a match is coming too soon.....

That is the reason when you find "the one" you buy 3k or 5k of them!

I don’t compete and in the field on varmints at short ranges like this the 223 has no problems.

David,
What bullet are you using in your .223 ??

 

[afret]

When I was shooting a lot of 5 shot groups at 100 yards with my 12 twist 6 BR, the Berger 80 FBs worked the best for me with AR Comp. Need to start shooting bolt guns again. Been buying and playing with handguns too much the last couple of years.

 

[Idaho-Lefty]

This ^^^ they ARE Wicked Accurate ( One Hole, 2's and 3's ) for, Me,.. too !
The 80 gr. Berger, Varmint / Target, Flat Based Bullet, shoot's REAL "Well", in my 6 XC at, 3,100 to 3,200 fps !
BUT,.. I'm NOT,.. a BR Competitor,.. Sage Rats, ARE, seriously Impressed, tho !

A lesson should be learned from Tony Boyer....If his pet load did not work that barrel was not a competition barrel. I am a believer.

How long did it take Tony to figure out what his "pet load" was?

68G Avenger & 66G Hottenstein

David,

For varmints a 40 grain VMAX moly. If the weather cooperates, (low wind and mild rain, nothing more) head shots on chucks at 350 work.

On days when the weather hates me I move to my 6MM Remington.

I can not answer that but after my first 3 barrels done with my reamer by the same gunsmith I paid attention.A lot of barrels get a bad label from guys developing a load with out flags in my opinion. When I read often that guys have 3 00 or 400 rounds shot and no load I think 2 things. First they have no process and secondly they are shooting without flags.

 

[JEFFPPC]

PS. I figured it out many years before Tony wrote his book. But his book confirmed what I belived.

If you are sorting bullets from a custom maker, you are either wasting time or need a different bullet maker! Just my opinion! 1-2 and 300 yd. I don't shoot long range, so can't say on that
