I have a 6 PPC coming with a 13.5"-twist Krieger barrel. I'm assuming I'll need light bullets for stability. Does anyone on here have experience with a 13.5" or 14"-twist PPC, and can recommend bullets that have stabilized well and shot accurately?

Try a few different bullets from 55 to 68gr, really depends on how far your max range is and what you want to accomplish. 100m may not matter a whole lot and the 55's will one hole that.
300m the 68's are going to be better.
I was pretty surprised with the 55gr Blitz out of my 243 1/10 twist at 100m, they were going pretty quick, but at 100m it was 1 hole, 200m not bad, 300m, meh.
68's at 100m not as good, 200m better, 300m pretty nice.
6mm CM in 1/8 twist 68's were decent at 100, 200, 300. Really consistent. 105's blew them away, at those ranges and much much further.
Never played with that slow of twist, but the heaviest bullets for cal that stabilize is kind of the goal for any longer range stuff.
Close range 100m you got lots of options.
300m the 68's are going to be better.

Thanks for the tips, guys. It looks as if I will need to choose bullets in the 55-gr. to 68-gr. range. There are a couple of Berger target bullets in that range, but lots of less target-oriented bullets in those weights from Sierra, Hornady, Speer, Nosler, etc.
If possible I'd like to get my hands on some Barts bullets. Is there anyone here in Canada that might be able to bring in Barts bullets or who might have some on hand? If not, is there any other way for a Canadian to purchase some?

Thanks, Jefferson. I'll contact Gary.
