Using lighter bullets in 6br

[cocopuff]

what have you guys found for accuracy using
lighter bullets in a 1 in 8 twist?
To date all I have used it the 95 gr.VLD's,
courious how accurate the lighter ones would
be.Most shooting is done 300 yards or less here.

The mid sixty weights are beautiful,You can go the gammit with an eight twist.

65 gr. and 75 gr. V-Max are great!!

Started off with 50s. Got 5 shot groups from 100 yards that could be covered with a dime. I WAS HOOKED!! Going heavier as the throat wears so I can jam into the lands. Up to 60s now and still getting bug holes. Real short throat chamber so I could jam from the start and still have a BUNCH of bullet in the case neck. Plan ahead.

CoCo -

Howdy !

+1 on what JonB said.

Sierra 6mm 85 BTHPs shoot superbly, and bullet individual weights per 100ct box are very, very close.

I've had excellent results from several 8 twist rifles shooting the 80 grain Bergers.

I like the berger bullets about the best so far...Just tough to get them from some places,and guys on gun broker are asking too much I think..And also some are rapeing you on the shipping..Like chargeing 7 plus dollars for a 5 dollar flat rate..Come on whats up with that?
