6mm 68gr 9 ogive?

Is anyone making a straight 9 ogive 6mm bullet around 68 gr? I’m getting low on my Eubers and would like to find more. Thanks!IMG_6648.jpeg
 
I never saw any 9s that Euber made. I am not sure that the #9 stands for the Ogive, but I could be mistaken. Tony, could you post a picture of the bullet? Berger made a 69g 9 Ogive bullet, but it took a 11.9 twist to stabalize it properly.
 
I have a gentleman that’s sending me a few of his bullets to try. It just seems odd that none of the popular custom makers offer a straight #9 ogive.

Here’s a Euber:

While you may have had good luck with them in your rifle many have not had the expected success with that ogive number. Hence the halt in the manufacture of that bullet shape. Great groups!!
 
Brady Knight made a 9. It was a real pointy bullet. I could not get any land marks only a ring. I could not get them to shoot in my gun and still have some. However>I was at an east/West with Wilbur and he was shooting well with Bradys 9-0. I guess it depends on the gun and tune

The late Cecil Tucker also made a 9 or 10 ogive flatbase. He had a name for it but I can’t remember it at the moment. This was over 25 years ago.

They had very little shank compared to more conventional Flowlers, Watson, etc.

I tried them, could not make them shoot.
