6 BR new and pleased as punch

[Schandler]

i have read and read these post and finally get to write about MY BR -- it took 6 months but i finally got it -- i could not be more pleased -- its a nesika k with krieger barrel and 2.69 -- with a little suggestion from the smith and about 3 grains over what he suggested i start with i dont even know why a fella would want one of those ppc's,just kidding - that will be my next custom) i actually broke the barrel in while working the load up and other than the reloader 15 making a mess in the barrel it turned out just fine -- i got some correct cleaning technique practice in -- i just wonder if there is another special load out there that just might shoot a little bit better than mine but dont know if i am willing to waste my barrel on finding it - but the more i shoot it the better it seems to get -- couldnt be happier

What's your twist rate, bbl dimensions, and what bullets are you shooting. Knowing that we can steer you in the right direction. RL15 is actually pretty clean, but it likes to operate in the upper end of the pressure spectrum.

the twist is 1/10 unless i am wrong -- i told the gunsmith what i wanted to do with the gun and he went from there - it has a 2.69 neck so all i have to do is clean the brass up and some i didnt even clean up - just loaded them and they did fine as well - i am using 88 gr bergers with rel 15 33.3 gr - 450 primers and i am seating it tight in the lands - i havent used the chrono on it yet - only have 35 rounds through it but have loaded some more and will shoot tomorrow after it warms up a bit -- the gunsmith told me to stick with rel 15 and no doubt he knows best in my mind but a fella has to wonder what varget would do in it ?? - anyhow if i can figure out hwo to post a picture of todays target i will -- 8 shots and you can cover it up with a dime -- that first shot after cleaning kills me though - i will try 200 yds tomorrow with it and hope there is a little breeze blowing just to see how it will affect it -
