[QUOTE="diamonddave2, post: 1904699, member: 52150"] The problem with a stock 6 TCU is gonna be the twist rate which is 1 in 10". I can't even stabilize that round in my 6 mm Remington with at that twist. Just not enough twist rate or velocity. The best you could do is probably an 85-100 grain running around 2700 for the 85 and 2586 for the 100 grain. I did used to shoot the 154 grain SST out of my 7 TCU at 1900 fps and shot it out to 500 meters. I could hit 6 out of 10 rams shooting the rifle silhouette course with a scoped pistol. [/QUOTE]
