6mm Rem with Bergers

oldscot3 · December 27, 2013, 04:09 PM

I have some boxes of Berger 95 gr. "Classic Hunter" bullets coming to try in my Rem 700 ADL 6mm Rem. I've used RL 22 in the past with Nosler bullets and had good results, so I'll start there. I also have 7828, and both 4831s, anyone tried these new bullets with any of these powders?

I tried the .243 VLD Hunting bullets in my 243 Winchester using IMR4831, IMR7828SSC and RL22. The RL22 gave the best groups (sub 1/2") but all gave acceptable results.

I've got Berger manual using his data. Both my 243 and 243AI have 1/10 twist barrels so far having good luck with IMR-7828ssc. Next powder I got both but going to try H-4831sc and I haven't ran the 95gr Classic over chronograph yet.

Well good luck
