90ish grain 6mm bullets. Reliable source

[ptf18]

Any idea for a reliable source of 90ish grain 6mm bullets.

I think many of the bullet manufacturers have dropped that area of weight.

I dont want to work up a load for a bullet weight of xxxxx only to find out that the bullet is being "suspended" from production.

Lapua seems to keep the 90ish grain 6mm bullets in production but gee.... they are pricey.

87 vmax is popular and inexpensive. Third gen still has plenty in stock

+1 and they carry a pretty attractive BC as well. WD

Probably why they're popular

Berger makes a 90gr BT and a 87gr VLD both are great long range bullets. Bib's bullets makes a 95gr flat base bullet, very good bullet. http://bibullets.com/about/home/products-2/ And +2 on the 87gr vmax

The 95smk may be old school, but it's not finicky. I have never had a problem finding them. Midrange comps, they always work.

Let's see I think I'm +3? On 87gr. V-max!!! Just ordered another 1000.

Where can I find the 95smk.I have looked for a year or more and have not found any.

Those three bullets are awesome.

I really, really like the BIB 95. In a straight 6 BR, 104 freebore is great for them. Less, and you get into the donut.

I just bought some Hornady 87's to try myself. My gun loves the Berger 88's, but they're nowhere to be found. Going to try Sierra 95's once back in stock.

I should have specified: a bunch of Berger bullets were back in stock at Powder Valley a few days ago, but no 88's. And the Sierra 95's are scheduled to be back at Midway in Sept.

Here in South Africa there is not one single V-Max bullet available anywhere.If you find a box you can sell it for allot of money lol. Luckily we have shelves full of Bergers at the bigger shops like the 88gr FB and the 95gr VLD's (which is also one of our cheaper bullets here ) and they shoot like crazy out of most of our rifles.I really hope 6mm Berger's stays our little secret here in SA and every body here keeps on looking for Sierras and Hornadys ;D. Bergers in 22 caliber on the other hand is is non existent as all the serious comp shooter here uses them and they buy everything that lands on our shores.

Luckily i bought a couple 1000 88gr FB and 95's when they landed and I don't shoot anything close to the amount you guys do

What exactly are wanting to use this weight for? Hunting or target or both?

 

[ptf18]

I've got a 6mm250 that Ive been using SMK 107s in. The twist is... 8ish and I wanted to try a bit lighter weight bullet. It will be for Midrange matches.

Try 95 smk. I use it in my factory 243 Win Rem tubes that are 1 in 9.125. Works well for me. Haven't shot past 525-600 yds. Just a thought.
