I read the article on the front page and it makes the 30BR sound like the most consistant, inherently accurate and consistant caliber for 300yds or less benchrest stuff.
So a little background. A few weeks ago I took my smith a Tikka action to make into something. I have been all over the board with want I wanted and pretty much had decided on a 6x47. I have a 6BR and like the 6mm bullet offerings and availability to me so that was the route I had about decided on. Then someone said I needed to look into a 30BR. It sounds intriguing. I also have a 6.5 Creedmoor for the further stuff but the 6BR is so fun to shoot I have been neglecting it lately
Purpose for rifle...I plan on shooting clays and steel from 100yds to 300m. One of the competitions I shoot has a tight group at 100yds event.
So my questions are:
1. Seems everyone is shooting BIB's that I have read but I cannot find a price or online source for them. I was going to call them but saw they are in LA and figure the least of anyone's worry over there is bullets right now. Good luck to them all! So directly...what is the current pricing on a 30cal 115-118 grain BIB?
2. I noticed a local outlet for Bergers has 115's...how do they compare to the BIB's? I have never even seen a BIB bullet in person.
3. Does this sound like a great fit for what I am doing?
4. What is barrel availability? I have never even seen a 1:17 twist 30 cal advertised. Do you know anyone with some in stock?
5. The article was written as there was no downsides to the 30BR under 300 yards. Are there any?
Thanks...I might have more questions as I continue research but those were my initial thoughts. Sorry so long winded
