[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 677518, member: 23486"] I absolutely love my 6-284, 28" 8twist Krieger. It has never seen a bullet other than the 107SMK. With the velocity potential of your 30" tube, you are going to see some of the 105 Bergers come apart as they really can't (from what several people state) take anything over ~3200-ish. You could shoot the 115VLD w/o issue as 32000ish is where you will end up with those. The problem being, the BC of the 115 is just BARELY higher than the 105 so what's the point? The new 6mm hybrid from berger boasts a better BC than both which is worth a hard look as does the 115 DTAC, if you can find them. As I stated, I shoot the SMK which as I can ALWAYS find it for sale & in stock & it shoots WAY better than I can. It isn't nearly as fussy to load either as it has a different ogive profile than the VLD's. You are shooting one of the fastest 6mm's on the planet, I really wouldn't be playing around with bullets under 100grains. Then we can start the discussion on the internal ballistics of each & how they will react to hitting your intended quarry (coyote):rolleyes: gun) [/QUOTE]
