[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 653492, member: 5219"] Bob, I didn't see any mention of number of shots. I don't hear of many guys using a 6mm-284 as a 1000 yd bench rifle. One exception also from my documents file is this: Randy Derks world record 6 targets 7” @ 1000 YDS 54 grains of Reloader 22 - Federal 210m primer - Sierra 107 grain Match King bullet - 3425 fps Now he had to be shooting at least a few sighters and five for record if it was a light gun. Another from files: 115 Bergers in a 6 groove 1-8 twist, 30 inch barrel I can get them to 3250 -3260 fps and not hardly any more. They are right on the raggedy edge of blowing up and on a really hot summer day I start losing them. I just don't shoot on really hot days anymore. Another: If you want to shoot heavy bullets go ahead and begin with the 107g Sierra MK. By no means is it a good varmint bullet (especially at ranges in excess of 500 yards as it will pencil through) but it will hold together at speeds in excess of 3500 fps. The bergers will also come apart around 3200-3300 fps which again pretty much rules them out. This is one reason why I have settled on the 87g VMAX's. I did searches on LRH, 24 hr and 6mm.BR.com for over a week when time permitted. Hope some of these help. Ross [/QUOTE]
