6br in 15' barreled Striker or T/C

[gdragon34]

I don't get out groundhog hunting as often as I like because it's a long drive and I don't get the motorcycle out much because I have nowhere to go. Now the little 15W bulb in my head is flickering a bit.

Does anyone have much experience with these? How is the accuracy and velocity? I current load .22-250 and 6br among others. These are my two first choices and I'll probably start with a .22-250 til I sell or shoot out the barrel.

Thanks for any help.

Friend has an Xp-100 in 6BR that shoots under 1/2" at 100 yards with a 70g Btip. Very accurate and fun to shoot.

Cayle Davis built something similar in 22BR, 16" XP100 action. Featured as Gun of the Week #10: http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek010.html

It's VERY accurate: "Groups are averaging in the high 2's and low 3's with one group I shot last Sunday that went .216". WOW is all I can say. As noted above, my preferred load is 31.5gr N135, with Bart's 52gr or Sierra 53gr bullet. The Barts bullets shoot about the same as the Sierras. All loads are thrown from a Redding 3 BR measure. If anyone wishes to chat or inquire about a rest I can be reached at,217) 526-3645 any time before 2pm CST."

Have fun...
