Hi all

Can somebody furnish me with the maximum optimal running velocities for 100gr projectiles in the following 6mm calibers in a 24" barrel length:

6 x 47 Lapua

6mm Bench Rest (6mmBR)

6mm XC

6mm Dasher

243 Winchester Magnum

243 Ackley Improved



Thank you.
 
I run 105 gr bullets in,
6br = 2930 average 29" barrel
6AI = 3390 average 26" barrel

Groups shot at 200 yards.

You didn't list the 6 Creedmoor, but it's one of the most popular 6mm for PRS comps. Photo 1 with the tape is at 780 yards and picture 2 is at 600 yards. FPS 3168. 42 grains of H-4350 and 105 Berger Hyb's.
