6br and 95 berger

[358]

Anyone use this combo? If so are you loading to touch lands. jamming or jumping. Hoping to learn what's working for others to save some time and powder?My first try with anything but DTACs in this rifle. Thanks, Mark

The DTACs 115gr long rang bullet, I've noticed using Bergers 105s it doesn't matter if it's VLDs, Hybrids or BTs they all shoot the same for group size, the point of impact may be a bit different.
The 95s will be affected a bit more by wind. They should work , placement of bullet to lands is always a trial and error thing. I would try a lite jam of .010 first.

My 6BR has a Krieger #11 28" barrel with a 1:8 twist and, although I normally use 105 or 107 grain bullets, I have use 95 grain Berger VLD's that shoot in the 2's at 100 yards (best is 0.221"). The load for this was 27.5 grains of Varget, seating the bullet 0.010" off the lands. Unfortunately I have no chrongraphic data to share with you.
