Chikentikka Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Having decided on a 6cm as my next lr/vermin rifle, I’m trying to find powders similar or equivalent to h4350 as it’s like rocking horse ****, anyone got any loads for 105gr bergers? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 A couple of use are getting good velocity and accuracy with Vit N160 using 105gn Bergers.

treetop Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 As far as I know it's REACH compliant. not sure when it will arrive - Edgar Bros are the UK & EU importers , of late they don't seem to be trying to hard to get US powders.

baldie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Interesting article Vince, and appears to bear out my own tests, and also Mark eu's. The cartridge is such a hot number, you need a good meaty barrel on there, to stop it walking. I mean HEAVIER than rem varmint. I've been down the butts when its been shot against its big brother, the 6.5, and despite what the figures say, it has no advantage in the wind. I watched the groups move just the same amount as the 6.5. I thinks the yanks have adopted it for one reason in PRL.....its flatter for UKD. It hasn't anything else going for it. The 6XC is a far more accurate case, and way easier to tune. barrel life on the CM is also not good,1000 rds in and its 2/3rds toast.

The Gun Pimp Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I really just built mine as a light (to carry) gun for McQueen comps. I must admit, I was shocked at the 3000+fps velocity out of a 22 inch barrel. Got a 50 in the first ever comp so more than happy with the accuracy.

baldie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 It will excel at that Vince. CSR is pretty hard on any barrel, but especially so in a hot 6mm. you can sometimes end up shooting 30 rounds in 5 minutes. The groups only started to show, opening up at long range [5-600 yards ] I was most surprised. rem varmint will usually remain stable with most calibers, but apparently not in hot 6's. I've always thought the same as yourself, that the perfect McQueen's calibre is a 6mm of sorts. Stonking velocities out of a 22" tube, that. A sure sign of a pretty well balanced cartridge.

Scotch_egg Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 The 6 creedmoor appears to excel with a short barrel. https://rifleshooter.com/2017/01/6-creedmoor-barrel-length-versus-muzzle-velocity-31-to-17-inches/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
