6mm Cm RPR, what bullets have you tested for accuracy and long distance

[Joel Dubose]

Hello everyone. I've recently entered the world of accuracy and precision shooting. As a trainer rifle to begin understanding the variables that I need to know I purchased a 6 mm Ruger precision rifle. There are a few matches in our area summer only one to 200 yards While others are a 1000 yards and Beyond. I am about to undertake doing load development and testing bullets and I'm just curious what are the rounds that you have tested and loads. I am certain that some of the Berger bullets in a 105 grain area are good, but tbere are some others like 110 SMK, DATA 115 Rbt, and others that I'm interested in hearing about as well. If you have any information about load data in the 6 mm Creedmoor I would like to hear.

I've used Hornady 108's and Berger 105 Hybrids in mine. Honestly, they shoot about the same, concerning accuracy, out to 300 yds in my rifle.

search for a thread on some 6 CM’s being short throated. if you suspect you’re jamming factory 108 eldm ammo into the lands this will save you a lot of mystery and headache

Excellent point. My 6mm creedmoor RPR is lightly jammed using Hornady 108 and handloaded Berger 105gr hybrids at 2.80" COAL. Others have reported even shorter throats. Mine shoots insanely well so I don't have any complaints.

What do you concider extreamly well ? With a factory Hornady match i'm getting best of 1.5" group at 250 yards. Im going to be mostly shooting at 1000 yard in competion but there are some times of the year that I will be shooting out to 1600 yards. I'm new at this but I thing that my mechanics are pretty decent.
Was getting some 110 smk , and some DRAC 115 rbt rounds to test.
