Came across a deal on a 6mm AI barrel with a 1:13.5 twist. Have a donor action so why not.

Questions is what bullet would you guys shoot with that twist. Be mainly for varmint and maybe pigs

Thanks in advance
 
When I had my 6mmAI built I was ignorant to the world of twist rates etc and had a 1-12" put on.

I run an 85grn Partition just short of 3500fps. Routinely shoots <1/2moa @ 100 and has accounted for everything from prairie dogs to mule deer. It's not the newest or fanciest bullet out there but it does what I want.

Should have added this. I am thinking 75 grain vmax or 87 grain. Will it stabilize both?


It would stabilize the 75grainer, but may not stabilize the 87; but I'd try it anyway :D I don't know how big the pigs you intend to hunt are but I would be a little skeptical about performance of a high velocity V-Max on a big Piggy. You might not get enough penetration to get into the vitals.
