New hornady 105gr hpbt 6mm

[coyote]

Has anyone here tried these yet they say it has a bc of .530 G1 and from what I have been reading the bullet is 1.5" long and I don't know if it will stabilise out of my 8 twist but I would like to try these out .

I ran a few numbers on JBM ballistics and if the bc is this high on them out of my 6mm slr I can launch these about 3200 fps soooo...... well they should work really well if they dont keyhole on me.

The bullet is 1.5 inches long? Wow. Sounds interesting!

I will try em out. I have always liked hornadys bullets. Your 8 twist on a 6SLR should have no issues. I wanna try em on a 6mmBR with a 1:8.

Let me know if you would like to try some.

I would still choose the 115 DTAC...

Those berger hybrids look interessting for sure but what impressed me with the hornady's was the new method of making near perfectly concentric jackets , good bc [so they claim] and the price .

Hornady bullets are well priced imo compared to others, I am not a fan of the amax line I do like the hunting bullets and I have had good luck in the past with some of the HP match bullets in .224.

If this new bullet can be consistent in length to ogive I will try and make them work but I am cocerned they may be hard to stabilyze in a 8 twist being 1.5" long.

Hmm. I will have to try these in a couple of 1-9 bbl'ed 6mm's and see how they do. - dan

Should be fine. Or Hornady will put note on their website.
