[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 756143, member: 25383"] I've shot many Speer bullets in the past with pretty good results just like the other brands. When your looking at 3" groups in a 6mm something, you need to be looking at barrel twist. There is no 95 grain bullet listed in my manual, but there is an 85 grain bullet with a .40 B/C. That's gonna have to have a true 1:9 twist barrel instead of somebody stamped on it. I had trouble with Bergers that had a .38 B/C with a nine twist barrel (well they claimed it was). The 190 grain bullet is listed as having a .54 B/C, and you should know upfront that your not gonna make it shoot well in a slower twist barrel. Plus your barrel may not like them anyway, but that dosn't mean the bullet is bad. The only Speer bullets that I just couldn't make shoot well in any barrel (all were 14 twist) was their 52 grain bullets, and I might add that Sierras and Hornadays would shoot well either. gary [/QUOTE]
