Danny Reever heard from Michelle Gallagher than the 108s have been chosen for production. James Phillips had best luck with the 107s, but the response on the 108s otherwise seemed uniformly positive.

I had great luck today with 107's at 600 yd IBS match I believe I had a 2.8" agg for LG using these bullets. Although I had problems with a particular action I did manage to get a 4 target agg. My best group was 1.560 Conditions today wasn't best had alot of haze and mirage but I wanted to see what they do in real match conditions. To bad they chose the 108's I need to try and talk them into selling me some 107's

Also I did shoot the 105's at 600 on Thursday and best group was 3.5" nothing to brag on and they was some real nasty groups to boot.

As you know, we recently sent out 6mm heavy non-VLD bullets to various shooters for testing. After reviewing the test results, we have chosen the bullet that will be added to our product line. We are going to be introducing the 6mm 108 gr. BT as our newest bullet. It will be available in August. This heavy non-VLD bullet was designed as an alternative to the VLD.

Because the VLD bullets often require tweaking to find the most accurate combination, this non-VLD bullet is meant for those people who do not have the time or desire to chase their loads.

Thanks again to everyone who tested these bullets, and to the other people who offered to help. If you are interested in participating in future tests, we will announce them as they become available.

Regards,
Michelle Gallagher
