60grn Sierra hp 6mm PPC

[long40shot]

How do you get .050” off with a zero free bore? Or maybe it was another guy who had the zero free bore reamer

That wasn't me. I don't know my reamer spec. I'm just thinking out loud about what I'm going to do next.

I'm interested in trying the 60hp Sierra in my 6ppc. Is anyone running these for varmints or fun paper punching? I've found where a few people talk about how accurate they are in various calibers. I'm having a difficult time finding anything using the search function. I'm guessing N133 would be a great start.

I shoot them in my 6BR 14 twist for GH hunting. 33.3 gr of 8208.

I would think they would make for a very anemic load if you want to use N133. With 68 grain bullets I had to use a 6" drop tube and trickle it in very slow to get enough in for this heavier bullets. I was getting 3450 fps and shooting .1's when I did my part.

If you want to go that light, I think N-130 or LT-30 would be a much better choice. But N-133 likes pressure to burn consistent. I don't think you can get enough in for consistent results with N-133?

I'll find out. I'm just in it for the fun. I like to tinker and reload. I'm not ready to commit to buying a batch of custom bullets for just punching paper whenever I have time to go to the range. But, you have a good point. I might grab a pound of N130 next time I'm in a store. For whatever reason, my gun seems to have a hit and miss relationship with fgmm primers piercing randomly. The BR4s are doing better.

shot them one year and then switched to 55 gr. nosler

prefer the 55 gr.

Im also having very nice results with 55gr Nosler BT's ( in 22BR)
