6 BR

[MDT6BRA]

70 nosler on top of 8208, I shoot it in a 1-9, have shot it in my 1-8, 1-12 also. I would go 1-8, BR in 8 twist will shoot big range of bullets really good!

Why are you worried about BC in a coyote rifle?

well that's true BC doesn't mean much in a hunting situation.

 

[NC/Br Shooter]

you think a guy with a 10 twist and a 87grain v max can hit 3300 fps ?

yes

 

[urbanrifleman]

yes

That seems awful fast. 80 grain loads top out at about 3250.

Yeah but weather or not it shoots good, he didn't specify. There's no doubt some powder out ther could get it to 3300.
that's just an opinion though. I wouldn't want to try it.

every rifle is different so just increase powder charge a little at a time and see we're it takes you accuracy is your end goal.

From a customer this week.

Urbanrifleman 6br 8 twist. 32 Varget 80 ELDVT. Around 3100. Getting close to pressure. Shot better and better the more powder. Going to keep going up.

I checked my load workups for burger '80s in 6 BR Ackley of which I did a whole bunch of shooting In the 8 twist. AR comp and 31.7 was the most accurate node up to 32 and the speed was just under 3200 ft per second

one thing about Alpha is that they are getting ahead of the 'market' by making more cutting edge cartridge choices available.

 

[urbanrifleman]

ok thanks

80 Bergers.

I would be shocked if the 80 ELDVT has more bearing surface than an 80 Berger. 80 Bergers shoot insane good in the 12 twist.

 

[urbanrifleman]

I think I have decided I am going to make myself a 30 inch 6bra 8 twist and shoot some varmint bullets to see what they do.

 

[urbanrifleman]

I just ordered some 80 ELDVT. $25 per 100. Not bad.

I'm going to make up a barrel and shoot them against the Berger 80.

I know they won't shoot like Bergers. But I will have a baseline.
