[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 132589, member: 12"] I would go with a straight 6 BR or the new 6x47. Either with a 9 twist would handle the 95 grain bullets. The 9 twist would also handle the 105 flat base Bibs, but that is probably the only 100 plus grain bullet that would shoot well in the 9 twist. You could also drop back to the 87 gr bullets. The 6 br would last at least 2000 plus rounds if not double that. The verdict is still out on the 6x47 but if you do not push them too hard it should be similar. the 6x47 has dies out now, Lapua brass and is extremely accurate. it pushes a 105 gr over 3200 fps. The BR is going to be in the 2900-2950 fps range with a 95. The Broughton 5C rifling will give you another 50-75 fps in each. BH [/QUOTE]
