[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1605956, member: 9308"] [SIZE=4]Assuming your gun is marked "6mm Rem" (which would have the 1 in 9 twist) your best bet would be: Berger Bullets, 6 MM, 105 Grain, Match Grade, VLD, 100 Per Box (24528); G1 BC=0.532; G7 BC=0.272 ----------------------------- The highest BC bullet I could find for 6mm (.243") was the DTAC RBT 115 grain (G1 BC of 0.585 to 0.620 depending on whose numbers you believe) but I [B][U]don't[/U][/B] think a 1 in 9 is fast enough to stabilize it. Other 'options' that [U][I]might[/I][/U] work are: 103 gr Hornady ELD X (Item #24550); BC = 0.512 (G1) or 0.258 (G7) 105 gr Hornady A-Max 107 gr Sierra MatchKing (SMK) 108 gr Hornady ELD Match[B] [/B](Item #24561); BC = 0.536 (G1) or 0.270 (G7) For bullets in this weight range, good powder choices to try would be: H1000 H4350, IMR4350, or Accurate 4350 H4831sc Reloader 22 & 25 Vihtavuori N165 [/SIZE] [SIZE=6][SIZE=4]Good luck! Seems like you are having fun and you have friends helping to push you to try new things.[/SIZE][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
