[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 164876, member: 4557"] As most of you know, I am building a new long range varmint rifle. I was originally going to chamber it in 6x284, however, many varmint hunters are telling me th 6BR is the way to go. I started thinking that most of my shots will be from 400 to 600 yards, however, I will be shooting out to 1000 yards too. So, I started thinking the 6BR woulld be the way to go. My question for those of you who use the 6BR, when using the 105grn A-Max, how does it perform on varmints like squirrels and Pdogs at 1000 yards? Also, if I go with the 6BR, will my 30", 1-8.5 twist, 4 groove barrel shoot the 70grn Ballistic Tip and the 75grn V-max bullets. I know it will shoot the 105grn A-Max well, but I will want to shoot the 70gn BT and the 75grn V-max. I heard the 6BR, with 1-8.5 twist barrel shoots everything from 70grn to 105grn bullets with excellent accuracy. However, I would like to hear your opinion. Also, what velocity can I expect from a 30" pipe using the 70grn BT, 75grn V-Max and the 105grn AMax. I am thinking I should get close to 3500fps with the 70grn BT, 3450fps with the 75grn V-Max and 3100fps with the 105grn A-Max. If I go with the 6BR, I am going to go with a no neck turn chamber. I will have it chambered for the Lapua brass. I read there is no need to turn the necks on the 6BR if your using the 6BR Lapua brass. This will make reloading much faster. I look forwad to hearing from you guys. I know many of you have been trying to get me to look at the 6BR for my project. Well, I am starting to lean towards the 6BR. Wildcat [/QUOTE]
