[QUOTE="BriKW, post: 1173934, member: 71363"] My 6mmBR doesnt shoot 100gn and up nearly as accurate as the 90gn scenar. Wish it were an 8 twist. Either way who could pass up a 6mm shilen varmint contour barrel? Finished out at 26 inches. It shoots those scenars so well, shooting groups at 100 yards in the 2's becomes borring after a while. Exploding bottles at 200 plus yards becomes ho hum as well. You nearly have to make it a challenge at 300 yards when the wind becomes more of a factor. Case being, its a real joy to shoot. Going on a coyot hunt in a week and wanted to load the 85gn BTHP GK.. if they do well i will see how they work on does and the like for the wife. I would give partitions a try but as i said i have 200 rounds of the BTHP for the .243 she sudenly lost interest in after shooting the BR. I see a 260remington coming in the futur if she tosses the 243 over the BR. Will make another excellent heavy barrel deer buster. Now only if i can find another shilen barrel with an 8 twist that shoots as well as the 6mmBR barrel turned out to be with the 10 twist. Il have another fun gun to shoot. Life is good [/QUOTE]
