Lead Free 6mm bullet accuracy

[ASbobcat]

Has anyone tried lead free 6mm bullets for accuracy?

Looking for a lighter option for 300-600yd targets.

I have shot the Barnes 80 grain TTSX in my Dasher, They shot very well and fast too - 3400fps. I killed hogs with them but they shot about 0.2 moa.

Thanks for that info. What twist are you running? My BR is 1:8.
I'm surprised Hornady doesn't make a 6mm lead free. Tech rep I talked with is a 6mm shooter too. He said he would suggest it to product development.

Why would you run lead free for targets?

As I recall, barnes makes a 115 match burner and the BC is redic. Think I got my 6 creed with a 7.5 twist incase I wanted to try it. Turns out im too stingy to sling more than an eldm at prairie dogs haha.

I am running a 7.5 twist, but an 8 twist should be fine for the lighter solids. The solids are longer for a given weight so you are wise to look carefully. The plastic tip requires more twist for a given weight as well.

I’ve had good success with the Lehigh Defense copper bullets…
