[QUOTE="BriKW, post: 1173452, member: 71363"] A year ago I bought a Shilen 6mm Barrel 1:10 twist. I also found a varmint rifle that had been abused pretty hard in a .243win i thought i could bring around. Well as luck would have it, the barrel was in pretty sour shap, so I had a local smith install the new shilen barrel. After giving it some thouht, i decided to go ahead and have him chamber it for the 6mmBR for a fun After receiving it, I figured the heaviest bullet i could shoot and get any kind of accuracy out of would be a 90gn, so I settled for the 90gn scenar. Man oh man will it ever shoot that bullet. One thing about a 6mmBR, they shoot so well they make you feel like super man. So real happy about settling for the 6mmBr. Now here lies the problem. My wife loves shooting it, and wants to use it for deer hunting. Her shots are going to be about 150 yards max, so I had thought of loading up some GameKing 85gn BTHP and see how well they shoot. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has tried them in the 6mmBR spesifically. I use them in the past in a .243 win with great results, but was wondering about the 6mmBR [/QUOTE]
