[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 165048, member: 4557"] Flybuster, I was originally going to go with the 6x284. However, after much debate and reserch, I decided the 6BR would be a better choice. My rifle will be for 1000 yard varminting. However, must of my shots will be taken between 400 and 600 yards, so the 6BR was the way to go. I decided I would go with a no neck turn chamber and have it reamed for Lapua brass. Many benchrest and varmint shooters are confirming the fact a no neck turn chambered 6BR is just as accurate as a turned neck 6BR, as long as your using the Lapua brass. I also thought about the 6 Dasher or the 6BRX, but I decided to stick with the regular 6BR. I did not want all the extra brass prep for a little extra velocity. This is going to be a fun rifle to load. I have heard Lapua 6BR brass is so perfect there is no need for turning necks, uniforming primer pockets or flash holes. I did some load research for varminting out to 600 yards. Many 6BR varmint shooters are having excellent results with the 70grn Ballistic Tips. When using a 30", 1-8.5 twist barrel, the 6BR will push the 70grn Ballistic tip at around 3500fps, the 75grn V-Max at around 3450fps, the 87grn V-Max at around 3200fps, and the 105grn bullets at 3000+. I have been hearing and reading that the 6BR loves the 70grn Ballistic Tip for 400 to 600 yard varminting. I have heard the 75grn V-Max is doing well too. However, I am finding the 70grn BT is getting the nod. I guess I will find out. I am thinking the 70grn BT and the 75grn V-Max will be my 100 to 600 yard loads. I will use the 105grn Scenar or 105grn A-Max for 700 to 1000 yards. This is going to be a fun rifle to shoot. The rifle is going to be heavy, 32 pounds, with scope. It will also have a brake, so recoil will be nothing. I guess you could say I am going to be able to watch my hits and misses with ease. It's going to be fun. Wildcat [/QUOTE]
