Budget 6mm bullet
I'm correctly using 105 hybrids for my 6br, however, I can no longer afford to shoot that particular bullet any longer. I'm shooting to 600 yards and currently trying the 105 match hornady bullets. Any other suggestions that might come to mind? I was also thinking of possibly trying the 70gr...

Cheap 6BR bullet?? - Like how the 30BR has the 125gr Speer TNTs
Wondering if there is a cheap, go-to standard 6BR bullet that people are using? Similar to how people have had luck in the 30BR with the speer 125gr TNT. I'm not competing, I'm just going to be learning mid distance shooting while prone at 300yds. Does a bullet like this exist? I found some...

Mike Ezell shot some crazy good groups with the Berger 90 in a 6 Grendel last year.
I shot them in the second half of my GT barrel for a while, just to learn them, and got several groups in the .1s at 100 during load development.
I think it’s a real sleeper, and cheap when bought in 1,000 count boxes.
I know a REALLY stout PRS shooter, a dominant winner, shooting match burners, and I’m pretty confident calling that a .250 bullet in a well built BR. I know that’s not Benchrest quality by any means, but you did say production so that’s an option.
The Berger 105s/108s of any flavor are still the factory bullets to beat, but they’re going to cost you what hand pulled are most of the time, so I’d consider that counterproductive.

Have always shot Berger 105s in my 6mm DASHER for F-Class rifle in serious matches. And more inclined to use the "hunting" version than the "hybrid".
