6BR Is For Real

I see, thank you Patrick! Good thing I didn't throw them away, now I have more brass to play with :-)


O if you still want to throw them away I would gladly dispose of them for you.

82boy brought up a good name (Randy Robinette ) not only does he make some great bullets , just got mine 2 wks ago .308 118gr and 6mm 105gr, he was one of a group who speerheaded the 30br most use what isw called the Robinette reamer for slow twist 1/17 and 18 with no freebore for 110 to 125 bullets and he is a great guy to talk to his knowledge is over whelming, I have not had a chance to load the 6mm yet but will soon for a match in october but his 30 cal man oh man I was breaking in my 30BR at 200 yards and with the speer 125 TNT and Berger 115 I was under 1/2 moa but no where good enuff then the BIB bullets came, I loaded 40 rounds with 33gr of H4198 one of Randy's loads listed I started at jam point of 1.685 then ended at 1.665 in .005 intervals, measureing from ogive to head of case, 5 shot groups at 200 yards the 1.665 came in at.381 of an inch or .181 MOA thats what I was looking for under 1/4 moa, I believe wth further development we might do better, next will it group like this consistantly? time will tell, my 6mmbr has shot .19? best, but is consistant at 1/4 moa, also got some cheeks bullets have not loaded yet. for Randy's bullets you can call 515 438 4010

6br, 6x47L, and the 6.5x47L are all good.

The 6br is fun to shoot, kinda like the ole 223, but more accurate!

Do a search, you will find tons of info.

Look for MDM posts, he has some fantastic threads!

Patrick, are you trying to talk me into a new gun? 6PPC, distance: up to 300yds or whats the range?


The 6PPC is very accurate at 100,200 and 300 yards, but it can go farther and still keep up. Last month a friend of mine shot a new local club 5 shot record group at 400 yard with a 6PPC, it measured under an inch. (.972 if I remember right.) It was shot from a 1 in 14 twist bartline on a Panda. Early this year I saw a fellow shoot a Factory Sako 6PPC USA at 600 yards, he shot a couple of 4 inch 5 shot groups with it, shooting 68gr bullets. In the past I have talked with another fiend of mine, and he said he has shot game in Africa with a fast twist PPC. He claimed it had velocities similar to a 243 win. (I kind of question that.) This guy is a top name Bench rest shooter, so who am I to question him.
