103 KHP

[Alex Wheeler]

So far this has all been word of mouth at matches. We have been making the Roy Hunter 103 6mm bullet for a couple years. It has been a very successful bullet percentage wise. Theres plans to add more to the line up as well. Theres a healthy back log but if you want to try some give Kristina a call 406 660 2752. KHP 103 is what we call them.

They sure shoot well in my 6BRA. Going this evening to finalize the testing. Glad I’m on the list already. I’m excited to see what others might get added.

Coincidence you would mention this today. I had a new barrel with 40 rds through of break in. Had top score at the Manatee Club 600 shoot today using Roys (KHP103) bullets loaded for an older barrel.

Interesting was I did not test them in any way. After the shoot found out I was doing a .035" jam. Glad there was no call to unload the rifle or I would have pulled the bullet and dumped powder all through the action.

Will test next.

BC? Like to know compared to my VT 103’s

If you could make a custom 6mm bullet that is heavier than 105 grn
And has a BC of higher then .570 (preferably .600 or more)
That would be great to add to your line up
One reason I dont even shoot the 103 VP's is the BC just aint there
regardless of how consistent they may be

Now I know your secret you ole sandbagger.

Somewhere in all these pages George may have gave some estimates if my memory is right.

I've been shooting KHP bullets since day one, I actually placed my 5K order with Roy and that's when Kristina and Alex took over and started making them, I believe I was one of the early KHP customers, it is an easy to tune great shooting bullet and super consistent and to prove my point here's last two 1K Nationals I shot KHP bullets in my BRA

2024 Harry Jones LG 3 target agg - 3.107"

2025 Williamsport LG 3 target agg - 3.968"

Good Luck with that I played around with some forms today and with a 1.200 j4 and a 21 secant ogive and weighing 115 grs. doesn't even make it to .600 B.C. @ 3000f.p.s. at least not with a lead core perhaps if you went to tungsten with higher weight

.580 is fine, how close did ya get?
I mean I like things like Lapua 105's and sierra 107's but comapred to a 115 Dtac's BC
Why would I shoot something with that much less BC unless its only up to 600 yards
(Im an ELR shooter mostly so 600 yds is more of a warm up/load test range, so want the highest BC possibly available)
Just the .527 range doesnt cut it
otherwise I'll just use a 7mm if I cant get at least close to .600 BC
Dtac BC is .620 so I know you can get closer!!! I believe in you
I think they are Tipped like the Sierra 107 is now, Sierra 107 has went up in BC too just due to that
even a Berger 115 BC is .568 sooooo, I dont understand the difficulty
-----------
BTW tungsten is a great idea, I am also a welder so use Tungsten for TIg, Tig rods can be bought at different diameters

@ELR LVR Those of us that shoot 6mms at 1,000 yard Benchrest keep going back to this "class" for a reason, but we measure groups so? Most guys just go larger bore if we want some ballistic gains to be competitive when scoring AND measuring groups. I've played with the heavies a couple different times, and they do hang on the center a tad better....but not enough better for what we give up imo.
