9 twist 6 BR

Started looking through 6 br loads here and tried to search with no luck so I will ask if anyone has had much luck shooting 95 gr. 6mm SMK's in a 9 twist barrel? I know it is wright at it's max bullet weight but they are one of the few in this wt. range that I can find to try. But I just bought this gun (Have not even gotten it yet and all I know is its a Bartlin 9 twist barrel on a model M Bat in a MBR stock) and trying get a few different bullet weights to try in it. Will be shooting this barrel at 250 to 400 yards.
Thanks in advance

I have in the past had some 1 in 10 6mm br barrels that shot the 90 to 100 gr. smk quite well. I would think the 1 in 9 would handle them. I see no problem in the 250-400 yd. range. that being said each gun is diff. and you will just have too test a few. I know buying, a 100 too test and then they do not shoot is the pits. maybe you have some reloading buddies could help you out. good luck

The 95g FB Bib Bullet would be the bullet that I would shoot in this set up.

My nephew shoots one, uses the 95g Bergers and H4895, 700 action 24" Rem Var taper, it's a great all around rifle for around here. I want to say the load is around 30-31g.
