Newbie needs help w/ 6mm Br

[MdBowDoc]

I'm looking at having a 6mm br barrel made for my T/C Encore. First off I'm not a reloader. I plan on using Lapua Match 90gr and 105gr Scenar or the Norma Diamond Line 105gr Berger. Maybe have some custom loads made up in 60-70 gr. for varmint hunting. So this is my question. What twist barrel would you experts recommend? The gun will be used for mostly target,+300 yds and out). But I would still like to be able to use it for some varmint hunting. I was thinking about 1-8 twist for all around? I know that one twist is not the best for everything. Should I be thinking a slowwer twist rate.
Oh yea I need someone that does 6mm br custom reloading and some loads that I have talked about or you might suggest.
If I'm going the wrong direction please point me in the right way, Help.

You will want a 1x8 barrel if your going to shoot 105/107s. You really might consider handloading for best performance and I really
dont know anyone that handloads for custom 6mm Br. Another reason to handload is that Lapua and Norma ammo is going to get mighty expensive if you shoot much. I shoot a Lilja 3 groove 1x8 and Im real happy with it.

Good Luck!


PS. I got a buddy on Team 3

Thank you LM151 for the info.

As I said I'm very new to this 6mm br stuff. After looking all over the web I found this forum. I figured that I was on to some thing. I just knew that I would get some great infomation here. Maybe it would help me get into this type of shooting.

Its funny that only 1 person on the whole forum gave me some info.. I would think that to get new people into the sport. More than 1 person would give up some info. after almost 100 people looked at my question.

I'm sorry I asked a question to this forum. I didn't know you had to know everything before you came on this forum. Oh well, I guess I need to find a web site for newbie shooters. Than we can all set around and just figure it out for ourselves. I hope everyone on this forum starts remembering that they were a newbie at one time too.
