6 PPC & 6 BR, what's next best?

[SteveOak]

If you subscribe to the the 6 PPC & 6 BR being the two most inherently accurate cartridges, what 6 mm cartridge would be the next most inherently accurate?

Thanks!

6.5 Creedmoor.....

6XC
According to Mr. Tubbs beat the BR in accuracy testing some years back

6BRX is as accurate as the 6BR with the right bullet in my opinion.

 

[SteveOak]

When I said BR my intent was to include the entire BR family. BRX, BRA I am thinking all are BR family.

That would not be a 6mm cartridge.

Great response, thank you.

 

[Jerry Wick]

Maybe 6ARC(slower twist, light bullet) or 6Grendel(Grinch)? Both are basically slightly longer PPC's.

Great response, thank you.

I had two Model 70 rifles built when the 6XC was all the rage and I was starting out as an OTC shooter before F-Class got started. I learned precision loading on these rifles, or so I thought until F-Class came onto the scene. They are incredibly accurate rifles, built by Randy Gregory of Accuracy Unlimited of Medford, WI.
I never shot them as F-Class rifle but they probably would have held their own, but now they terrorize prairie dogs. I've loaded the BRX to nat'l record status at 600 yards (200-16X) with my now ex wife, shot the Dasher for part of a season too. Outside of the BR family, the 6XC and then the 6mm Creedmoor would be my pics for top 6mm accuracy

If we go in this bracket of less capacity=easier tune, maybe the 6x45, Dasher, or 6GT.

 

[Bugs]

Maybe a grinch. . . . .

 

[NDSU]

6GT

 

[MasterYoda]

6 Grendel

I would have to ask "what distance?" to be a fair question.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I would think some would “better” at longer distance

Good question. Let's say up to and including 600 yards.

The question is accuracy rather than suitability

 

[Clancy]

BRA, BRX, BRDX, Dasher.

6 GT is wicked accurate but it’s no BR variant.

I would think they would go hand in hand

Yep, load that 6GT up full and stuff some Sierra 110’s on top, I’ve seen one going 200.14 at 700yds. Using Alpha brass.

Has anyone ever altered a 6PPC by making the shoulder like an Ackley~?
