Cheap 6BR bullet?? - Like how the 30BR has the 125gr Speer TNTs

[Dimner]

I ended up buying two boxes for the 750ct 70gr TNTs and 5 boxes of the 105 hornadys. Just incase anyone wondered where I ended up.

Good choices. Please report back.

Will do!

While I have your attention... what is the diameter of your remage barrel nut? Trying to see if my stock can fit a barrel nut prefit system.

Just wondering what twist rate your shooting them out of, may try some myself

1.35. Many stock require a tiny bit of relief. Chassis do not.

I was going to try a 1:8. The reviews I have ready say they do not blow up... at 6BR velocities that is. @urbanrifleman in that other thread a while back where you showed your targets with that bullet. Do you remember what the twist was?

Edit to add:

Here is a exceprt from a Midway review:
Be wary in fast twist (7-8-9 tw) barrels- I have a 50% fail rate 10 feet out of the barrel (jacket disintegrates) when the barrel is even slightly dirty, at a measly 3500 FPS.

So I guess at around 3500fps is when you need to worry. Other reviews say they have no problem with 3500 and 3600 fps. I wont be pushing them nearly that fast in the 6BR

I have never blown one up.
