[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 653473, member: 5219"] When I built my 6mm-284 it was for the 115 DTACs. I really thought they would shoot. It was reported by several shooters that the 115 Berger VLD would not withstand much more than 3250 or so. Here is one quote I put in my files. Remember this is with a 1 in 7.5 twist that is needed tto stabilize a 115. "115 Bergers in a 6 groove 1-8 twist, 30 inch barrel I can get them to 3250 -3260 fps not any more than that as they blowup" From EDDYBO on 24 hr: :"Forget the 115 bergers the d-tacs are the only 115 that will hold together as far as I know. Your max load is probably going to fall around 51grs of vv560 depending on how your rifle is throated. I was able to get in the 3250 range with good case life. I have some vv570 on hand and suspect that if I could stuff enough in that case that better velocities could be had." Anothetr quote: " Just a couple more things to think about. you mentioned in your first post that you had a stainless 1-8" twist 6mm barrel but you did not mention how many grooves, if it is a 5 or 6 groove barrel you can make anything you want out of it. on the other hand if it is a 3 groove you will be disappointed if you go with a 6mm-284 or a 6-06 because after a couple hundred rounds you will start to get bullet blow-up.

FYI my 257 Weatherby 1 in 10 twist 3 groove begain destroying 115 VLDs at round count 700. [/QUOTE]
