Short barrel 6br

[Lightning93]

Hello
I have a short barrel,18") Encore made by Virgen Valley in 6br with 1/8 twist
What would be a good bullet and powder?
Will be using it for varmint hunting mostly
Thanks Lightning93

The 1 in 8 twist will shoot any bullet weight you can put in it.
For critters I would try the 70 grain BT and up.
I use the 80 grain Fowler flat base a lot with good success even though it's a paper puncher, just cause it shoots so nice and tight...
Varget, H-4895, H-4350, AA 2520, AA2460, RL-15-take your pick, and see what works for you, and your rifle.

Working up much the same now, except a 10 twist 16.25 barrel, T/C Custom Shop.

Trying some of the same loads as I'm using in my 700 - will report back later this week.
