Scotch_egg Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 If you have £1400 spare there is a 6ppc for sale on the stalking directory. Recently re-barreled sako. An absolute bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybrock Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I used a Stolle 22ppc for years as my foxing rifle, fantastic round, but then I had it re barrelled to 6mm ppc which I currently use as my NV rifle. I only use it out to around 200 yards at night but out to 300 yds you won't find a more accurate cartridge, get one and you won't be disappointed!

Alycidon Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have used a 6PPC for almost 20 years now. Sweet shooting rifle, drops deer with ease given good placement. My novice daughter can shoot .3s with it off a bench after 800 rounds down the tube. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soother223 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Been using a 22 ppc for the last 7 years. Recently re barreled it to shoot heavier rounds.. Took a bit of patience to get it on song but working really well at the moment ! And boy does it have some clout now! Very rarely get my 243 out these days...

gbal Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Been using a 22 ppc for the last 7 years. Recently re barreled it to shoot heavier rounds.. Took a bit of patience to get it on song but working really well at the moment ! And boy does it have some clout now! Very rarely get my 243 out these days...For most uses,6PPC is pretty close. SAAMI ccommercial loadings:best,not typical: 6PPC ((90 g) up to 1800 ftlb; but 75 g is 1600 ftlb 243 85 2080 6BR 85 2115 105g 2210 For all ,lighter bullets less energy,and if stabilised,heavier more 6PPC is a little easier on recoil/shootability;generally in more accurate rifles,as is 6BR 6PPC has less longer range potential,but we are outside live quarry ranges anyhow by then.

andybrock Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 In my 6ppc I use Lapua brass, 29.5gn N133 with Federal 205m primers which pushes a 65gn V-Max along at 3300fps which is a great foxing / vermin round out to around 300yds. If you want to shoot further than that then this is where the 6mm br takes over. I can just about squeeze enough energy out of mine using the correct bullet to make it deer legal, but to be honest I think there are more suitable rounds out there for deer.

varminter Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just my tuppence worth and hope you dont mind chaps!!! Semi custom Sako 75 in 6PPC - 270 Lapua neck - 1 in 12 twist Krieger barrel running 85 grain BTSPs @3100fps and 220 Russian brass... 157yd heart shot Fallow buck ( bullet mushroomed and exited and dropped said animal on the spot as with other Fallow / Roe ) And some more.. Keep the ranges sensable ( 200yds ) and its a cracking performer!!! One of my all time favourite calibers which i was fortunate to cut my teeth onin the deer stalking world hunting Fallow and Roe!!

That load produces 3385fps using 68gr match bullets in my rifle. Its my load of choice either the 68gr Barts or 65 gr VMax which should be a shade faster. Its my load of choice with either 205M or BR4 primers. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
