[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1497776, member: 27307"] It's been a long time since I had a barrel reject that many bullets. I understand your dismay at arriving where you are now after putting so much effort into solving the problem. I've run into a couple of recent issues where a Berger Classic hunter fulfilled the load requirements while other, more modern shaped VLDs failed. I might suggest trying the newer Sierra GameChanger bullet: [URL='https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/search?bind=gamechanger6mm'][B]6MM GameChanger[/B] [/URL] [LIST] [*](.243 Diameter) [*]Tipped GameKing [*]Boat Tail [*]90 Grain [*]BC = .49 [*]50 and 100 Count [/LIST] I have read your post several times but find little information on your 'light-ish' 6mm Creedmoor rifle barrel. I've had some decent success with cutting an inch off the muzzle end of the barrel then cutting a new crown. It weird but it works a high percentage of the time. The loss of one inch should not overly affect your velocity. After hunting season you could consider having a discussion with the bullet makers to determine if you need a different set of dimensions for the throat in this barrel. Regards. [/QUOTE]
