Good point. What are the average speeds from a 6mm br with 105,s

[LoneWolf]

I believe the 2800 Area. 3000-3150 is what makes them advantageous over the 6.5's.

I get it and 6br is unquestionably accurate, but I just don't see the point of shooting a slow 6 haha.
That's exactly why I took the 6BR reamer to the 6.5x55 case. With the 105's it doesn't give up much to the 6.5's
and that Lapua brass is dirt cheap for the x55

Yeah, I've toyed and toyed with the idea of a 6mm, but just can't stomach the barrel life yet. I've looked hard at the 6 SLR.

I can easily get 3350 with the 105 and H4350, but I'm pushing them at 3150 for the increased accuracy. An added benefit is longer barrel life and increased brass life. How much more life? Who knows, but it's gotta be worth something...

I haven't tried loading any 105s in the 243AI to see what it's capable of velocity wise. I'm too happy with its .25" groups with 75gr Sierras to mess with it.

If you're already running 6.5 Creedmoor just go 6 Creedmoor. No sense in beating yourself up with all that extra work.

I can live with that speed..............whats the life span of the 6mmbr barrel?....2k rds?

[Hotolds442]

Talk to Apache, it was his idea to go that route.
