Bullets for 6BR?

[Boone]

I am new to this long range shooting. I have a Savage 10 Predator Hunter with a fluted barrel. I have shot it in one 600 yd, match and in two 300 yd. matches. The gun is shooting some good groups, I am not doing so well in reading the wind yet. I recently purchased a custom 6BR. Brand new gun. I am finishing the stock on it now. 27 1/2" Kreiger barrel, Carl Bernosky Stock, Tubbs recoil lug, Rem Model 7 action. A friend was building the gun and got into a little financial need. What I need to know is what bullets do I need to buy for a 6MM 1-8" twist barrel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I do love this sport, I am 65 and wish I had started 40 years ago.

My favorite bullet for my 8 twist(s) is the 107 Sierra MatchKing. Seat 'em to touch, or .020" of jump, does not seem to matter, they just flat out will shoot in my Krieger's, with the .237" bore.

+1 on the 107 SMK. Best I have tried in .243 Win, 6SLR, 6AI.

several good bullets out there. 107 SMK, 108 BIB, 105 Berger, 105 Lapua. Each shoot good. I suggest you try a few and see what your gun likes.I suggest skipping 100 yards, and start at 300. This will give you a truer (is that a word?) result of what your gun likes.

Mine happens to like 105 Berger VLD's. Just took it out of the safe last week for the first time in over a year, and it did this at 500 yards.

+1 for the 105 Berger VLD's. The 107 SMK's shoot real good also.
