Most accurate bullet you have shot? (6mm)

[Eric Leonard]

It’s a toss up Barts Avenger 68 BT or the Hillbilly 68 BT.

Is Larry still in business? I called him yesterday and 1 number was disconnected. Left message on another.

Is there a way to do a poll on here?

Yes… and they are supposed to be approved by @Forum Boss before posting…

60gr sierra hp #1500 for me on varmints

Barts 105 hammer in an 8 twist is just about as good as it gets for a long-range bullet

Barts 105 Gungner 600,800,1000 Yards

In my 46lb heavy gun chambered in 6BRA the bullet I use up to 1000 yards is the Berger 105 grain VLD. A few days ago in a 1000yd Benchrest competition shot a 5 shot group with 3 shots in 1.1/4 inches and the other 2 just out making the group just over 5 inches. The conditions showed a bit of mirage and a switching wind but pleased with the bullets accuracy.

Do you sort them by oal or bsto ?

Hi Frank.
Used to do bsto but as I now point bullets I do oal

The most accurate bullet I ever shot is no longer made.
It was the Lester Bruno original 68 grn OO BT.
From 2006 through 2010, I won a lot of matches with that bullet.

Since then, I pretty much shoot my own bullets.

How would you go about buying Bart's bullets I have left mgs twice Maybe the wrong number?

 

[CJ6]

Barts Website and Bullet Central gets them in stock from time to time.
BIBs is also an excellent choice.

Most any custom bullet (Bart, Hillbilly, EPS, or even those made by of one my fellow shooters) will be great, then the Bergers for factory offerings.
I swage light .30 cal bullets at home. Still learning the intricacies but they are not any worse than factory offerings.

With 30 caliber bullets, figuring out the amount of lube and keeping it consistent seems to be one of the most important steps.

Jackie, keeping notes on all the J4 jacket lots I've used has been invaluable. With tool steel dies, the jackets are much fussier to the lube amount. The lube window can be pretty narrow with  some lot numbers. The widest lube window was the 'camp fire jackets'...a Donna Robinett-ism. The gallon glass jars used for lubing jackets are cleaned inside with acetone after each useage to prevent any drift from residual lube remaining in the jar.

Nothing that those who make bullets don't savvy, of course...just some bullet blah-blah over my second cup of Sulawesi on a rainy morning on the lone prairie.

I'm going to have to look into custom bullets a bit more. It's very niche over here but could be a better option than many of the factory bullets that are often unobtainable.

Thanks Jackie! My challenge has been achieving consistent bullet core weights. I have taken the "easy" route while I learn, Charlie's cores are great.

Like it says, what is the absolute most accurate 6mm bullet you have shot? Does not matter what weight.

Clay Spencer did make some 103 GR. That my Br liked. Clay stoped making them a few years back. Lucky for me i am on the last 1000 i have. Tommy Mc

 

[Bill K]

Which is the most accurate. That is a hard question to answer, when I have had 1/2 to 3/4 MOA groups at 100 yrds with the proper load in 55 to 80 grain bullets by Nosler, Barnes, Hornady and Hammer, in a couple of my 6mm rifles. Each is equal in being accurate.

Best way is to email bartsbullets@gmail.com. You can also message me here. Between matches, making bullets, and getting ready for matches I’m hard to get on the phone.
