[QUOTE="436, post: 971263, member: 16609"] Zack, Cleaning can some time be a funny deal. Take a match where 60 plus spotter as the norm.. if most shooters have time they clean after each match for the next run. Others may not. When I setting up the scope or testing a load I clean after ever 5 rounds. If I'm looking at cold bore groups and accuracy I clean after each shot, this is more for the tactical guys, who work with the cold shot as possible the only shot. As for the bullet(s), just about anything in the middle range of the weight class for 6 mm going to work; as I stated earlier'.., or didn't. I've punch a few rounds down range in a .243 cal in matches, when your looking at a 300 yard NRA bull it more about the waterline than trajectory with a 6 mm... the six will shoot more than flat enough in near any cartridge and bullet style.. I found early on that many of the flat base 6's worked just as good, and better in many case's over the boat tails. If that 85gr BT looks good try it, you'll never know until you do. It's not about "great B.C" at that range; it's about the X-ring and how many you can put into it, most good shooter are going to clean that target, and the X count going to win it. Good Luck. 436 [/QUOTE]
