[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2097728, member: 94154"] Need opinions on bullets, please. I'm having a barrel threaded and chambered for 6mm AI - Xcaliber 1:8, heavy varmint, ~26" finished length. Going into a Savage LH long action. The bolt head will be faced, firing pin and spring tuned, and the action timed. Redding dies are on the way. Already have a Redding bushing FL sizer and Wilson seater. I will be using this for both a bench gun and varmints. I have 200 pcs of 6mm Rem brass to start with. (100) pieces of Hornady, (100) pieces of PPU. In my experience in other calibers (7m-08, 6.5x55 Swede AI, 6.5 Grendel, 308 Win, to name a few), PPU brass beats the crap out of Hornady in performance and longevity. I'm soliciting opinions on the bullets I've picked up (that is, the ones I can find) [LIST] [*]Berger OTM 105gr (believe I should be able to find two more....). Four boxes @ $40/box [*]Nosler RDF 105gr (seem to be the only bullets left on the shelves). Three boxes @ ~$30/box [*]Sierra 80gr Spitzer, Three old yellow boxes @ $9/box (garage sale). [*]Hornady 100gr Interlock BTSP (can get more), Two boxes @ $22/box [/LIST] In addition, if you have any recommended loads, please don't hesitate to post or PM them! Thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
