6 br twist

[rednek]

I am in process on a custom 700 action and was planning on doing 6ppc, but now am considering 6br instead. The problem I have now is I got my barrel in a 1:14 twist. Anyone experimented with this twist in a 6br? If so how did it work?

A 14 twist 6br will shoot the lighter weight bullets into groups so small you'll swear to god you died and went to heaven.....
I shoot 66 grain Fowlers in mine with Varget and the accuracy is scary out of a 20 inch Hart barrel on a XP action........

How's <.375 for a five shot group at 200 meters sound? I have a 6mm BR 1-14" twist that will do the above with 65grn. to 68grn. bullets all day.

how bout 55 blitzkings? I know where I can get a 1000 moly coated for like $80 and wondered if its worth it. I don't really like moly coated, but the prive is sweet for varmint loads.

Try a stout load of H-322 with those 55gr Blitz-Kings and you'll enjoy bughole groups at 100 yards at 3900fps or faster, doesn't get much better than that

Rednek, I have a 26" Hart in a 1:14 and my best group measured .151" at a 100 yards, and I'm just a beginner. I shoot the 65gr vmax load from this site, I believe it is in the varment section. Don't look back you'll love it.

The 1-14 twist is typical in benchrest rifles, it will shoot well beyond the ability of most of us with good loads - if you are using light bullets.
I am using a used bencrest barrel with a 1-14 for varmints, if I miss that is the case I am the cause,not the gun.
Stay under ~75gr bullets and you should be thrilled with the accuracy you get.

If 70gr Nosler Ballistic Tip was the focus of interest and the barrel 24", would you all say go 1 in 14 twist or 1 in 12 twist?

In 14 twist, what velocity comes to mind as the minimum for stabilization of this bullet?

I have two friends who own Cooper's in 6 br. They shoot fantastic with 65 v-max and 70 Nos. BT. Both scored on Prarie Dogs at over 500 yds. in heavy winds. You will be happy with the Cooper 6 br.
I have a 40-x 6 br with a 14 twist and it will shoot the 70 Nos. BT. but i think the 65 - 68's shoot better with the 14 twist. My Bryant 700 12 twist shoots real well with the 70 B.T. It took 3 PD's off a mound at 678 yd. this June with the 70's.

The 14 tw will shoot bullets up to 80 gr. I like 70 Blitz King with N135. good luck.
