Dtech 6BR Range Report

[joghotrod]

For those of you that wanted a report on how the Dtech 6BR shoots here is a target. The top left group was the 1st group the day and the 1st shot was high because of cold clean barrel. I shot 9 more shots after that one and you can see 8 in one big hole. Somehow I got a flyer during the 9, high again. These were 95 gr. Berger VLD's with 30.0 and 30.5 grs. of Varget. The top right is with 30.9 grs. of Varget. Still got a flyer, but looks like it may be a load to try again. The lower groups are with 30.7 and 31 grs. and they don't look like they will work. These were shot with a little wind not to bad. All at 100 yds. This barrel has about 66 shots through it so far.

Just got back from the range and the Dtech 6BR shot a 580 out of a possible 600, with 23 in the 3 in. X ring. I was shooting the F class target. That was fun. The wind was blowing pretty good but it was steady most of the time. If I knew how to read the wind, the score would have been better.

I was using 95 and 105 Bergers. 1st 20 were 95's and the next 40 were 105's. Three clicks got it back on zero after the switch.

Apparently all of that Wolf ammo that my brothers little kid shot through that thing didn't hurt it!

All that did was break it in for me.

Mike are you still causing trouble? I guess that is ok as long as you keep building good AR's.

I was just getting on here to look for some loads for RL 15 that I want to try next. I hope that bolt is as strong as you said it was.

Are those target rounds single loaded? 95 and 105 Berg VLDs would likely need to be.

How does it feed mag long stuff?

What mags does it use?

Thanks

I single load them from a modified .223 mag. I don't have a mag that works and don't really need one because I would rather shoot it single shot. If I wanted a working mag, I think the 6.5 Grindle mag would probably work with the shorter bullets if you modified it some.

If I used a Bob Sled it would have to be modified also, because of the huge bolt required for the 6BR. Same size as a .308.
