6MM Creedmoor

[Eric H]

Ran into a 26inch 6mm Creedmoor 7 twist and wondering what bullets, brass LRP or SRP should I start with. Throat is .183.

 

[22Kreedmire]

LRP brass 108 eldm or 105 berger hybrids h4350 or irm4451 or similar

 

[Eric H]

Got some NOSLER custom brass coming and hopefully that does the trick.

115 Bergers RL 16 be better in that long freebore than 105's

Lapua SRP brass
Fed GM205M
42.0gr H4350
105 Hybrid
.020" jump
3101fps (from 24" 1:7.5)

With a 1:7", I would look at the 110 SMK, 115 HVLD, or 115 DTAC too.

 

[22Kreedmire]

105vlds are a tad short for the .183 throat. But the 108 Eldm works really really well. Or the 115 Berger. Or the 115 dtac. 105 hybrids also work well it seems.

 

[ramrod79]

The new 110 A tips might be a good option with that twist and freebore.

 

[Eric H]

Is that the VLDs?

105vlds are a tad short for the .183 throat. But the 108 Eldm works really really well. Or the 115 Berger. Or the 115 dtac. 105 hybrids also work well it seems.

 

[22Kreedmire]

105hunting vld are a little short. 105 hybrids work pretty well tho

 

[ShtrRdy]

I agree with what 22Kreedmire recommends. And if you want to try some factory loaded ammo grab some Hornady Match with the 108 gr ELD-M or the Federal Gold Metal Berger with the 105 gr Hybrid.

 

[22Kreedmire]

Agreed. I have seen a handful of saami .183 freebore 6 creedmoor shoot the 108 factory stuff VERY Well. I have a 17" that shoots them under half on a regular basis

Keep an eye out for some 6.5 lapua brass, seen some good deals on once fired and just one pass thru a F/L 6 creed die and u good to go. 42.6 4350 and cci 450 with 105 hybrids beat combo I have tried so far.

Yeah, those are the 105 Hybrids I shoot. But I buy a 500ct box.
