6 BR/6 BR-A Reloaders “Sound Off”!!!

[DLJ6]

Wow, what twist rate are you running?

Wow, what twist rate are you running?

I've ran 7.83 and 8 twist...had great results with both.

Here's an old ladder shot at 600yrds.....Varget, Sierra 107's, Russian primers.

 

[6BRAI]

Looking forward on your H4350 results. Enjoy your 6BRA. The 6BRAI is my preferred choice for registered IBS longerange benchrest competitions.

I have a light gun and heavy gun 6BRA benchrest rifles. They have identical chambers using a Pacific Tool and Gauge reamer designed for a 103 Vapor Trail. Both use IMR 4895 at 29.9 for the Vapor Trails and 29.3 for Berger 105 Hybrids. Both are seated into the lands with a square mark on the bullet. Both are capable of shooting 2" inch groups @ 600 yrds when I do my part. I've tried Varget but never generated the accuracy of the IMR until I got up to scary pressures.

In a slow 14 and 12 twists with zero freebore, the 55g Nosler loves H335 and AA2230 with rem 7 1/2 primers at 3900 fps, with 60g at 3800+....tiny bug hole groups abound and 3/4" at 300 is not unusual at all.

AA2495 instead of Varget, 8208, and 4895 will add a LOT of throat life when running 105ish weight bullets.

Beware that some lot# of the Hornady bullets run .2440 on the pressure ring and std throat dia is .2435. The bullets get pushed way back in the case when you have a lot# of fat bullets.

Yes it's a Foundation Centurion. He's my go to for a few different calibers or Crownridgebarrelworks for remage type barrels.
