[QUOTE="LRSickle, post: 496738, member: 18167"] [IMG]http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab57/longbow_photo/003.jpg?t=1302290094[/IMG] Just an update. I finally got my 6mm Ackley done. I tried Varget, IMR 4350, IMR 4064 and RL22 with 75gr Hornady V-Max and Sierra 75gr HPs. All of them shot good but the Sierra 75 HPs shot REALLY well! Here's the specs if your interested: I had the barrel chambered and fitted by Dean Parker in Wellsville, Utah. He's a very successful benchrest shooter. I started with a Stiller Predator V action, left port, right bolt with no ejector. The barrel is a 1-8 twist, four groove, Palma/F-class weight Bartlein. Dean chambered the barrel to 6mm Ackley Improved with a .271 neck which gives me a .001-.002 neck tension depending on how I turn my necks. It's a single shot so I can get away with low neck tension without worrying about bullets coming out in my magazine. The trigger is a Timmney set at 1.75. I topped it off with a Nightforce NXS 5-15x50 with MLR reticle. I highly recomend Nightforce scopes! When the weather clears I'll get out and see how fast I can drive the Sierras before my groups open up. [IMG]http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab57/longbow_photo/004.jpg?t=1302290149[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
