6br 200 yard bullet for varmint-score matches

[chris308]

I`m shooting a 6br for varmint/score matches. This is at 200 yards. I originally shot a barts 68gr f.b out of a 1-14" barrel with great results.
The last year I have been playing with a Berger 95vld with a 1-8" barrel with equally good results. plus i use this same combo for the VHA jamboree.
Am getting ready to build up another rifle for this type of sport. Would you guys stick with the 68 gr f.b.`s or would you give the 95`s,either Berger or the new Sierra) a shot at this?
Was just curious on your thoughts on accuracy of the 68 vs. the 95 at 200 yards. This will be only for score and not group shooting.
Any thoughts on this would be great...chris308

30BR, or a similar 30 cal. Score is a tough game with a 6mm. Maybe if you are shooting against a couple buddies with 6mm's, but come to a well attended IBS score match, and you will be looking up at higher scores. While a 6mm can fare a little better at 200 than 100, day in and day out, the 30's have a clear advantage. Check the equipment lists.

I know the 30 is a better choice but i have reamers and dies up the kazoo for 6br and was not looking into starting over...was just seeking thoughts as to whether the 95 would do better,the same or worse than a 68 at 200 yards.
Also my main interest is 1k br. The score matches i will attend will consist of only 1 ibs match and a local varmint match...so i`m not looking to set the world on fire chris

JMHO but if the 95 grain bullets in a fast twist were better than 68 grain in a 14T you would certainly see point blank Benchrest shooters using them. But you don't.

Ray,thanks for thought... i think I`ll just do the 68gr set up...if I can pull it off I may do 2 barrels, one for each. My .050 f.b. reamer will do both bullets well...
