308sako,
I also shoot the 7.62x39 in several decent bolt action rifles and really
like it. I am just about to load up some 125 Gr BT's for coyotes.
What powder did you use and did you like the results?
Nosler,
I would suggest that you look at the 6mmbr.com web site. I believe I
have the web site name correct. One thing that surprised me is the
interest in the 30 BR cartridge shooting a 118 grain bullet with a 1 in 17
or 1 in 18 twist. If you could develope something suited to that game...
Does anyone use a cheap surplus powder in the 6mm BR with reasonable
accuracy of say .75 inch or less at 100 yards? I shoot only Nosler
55 gr bullets in mine.
Nosler,
I hope that you are trying to match the quality of Lapua brass. If you
do, then I will buy from you. I like to support local companies. I have
been one of your customers since 1960. Almost half a century.
I would vote for 6mmbr Norma (not Remington), 6.5x284, and some
basic cases...
It is obvious that our friends at Nosler are listening. Now, if Winchester
is listening, bring out a 6.5 WSM or the 6.5x284 which is after all, based
on a Winchester cartridge. If you like varmint cartridges and thus
appreciate the performance of smaller bullets then a 6.5 is a logical
bullet...
