walkabout Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I would like to try some 100yd benchrest with my 6-6.5x47 Lapua. It has a 28" Bartlein barrel with a 1:8 5R twist, throated to SAAMI spec. Any bullet recommendations? Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 http://www.bergerbullets.com/products/all-bullets/ I was looking for a heavier flat base target bullet on the list, but they are varmint bullets. 68 gr Match FB Target might be an option?

garyw Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 i have the same and it shoots really well with 75 vmaxs '100yds[foxing load] the 6x47 really shines with 90gn+ bullets i used 105 berger hybrids for f class out to 1000yds at 100yds they will shoot under 0.5moa. it depends if you want to shoot heavy or light bullets i would pick a light bullit the sierra 95gn match are a good choice or any berger you can get around the same weight. whatever you choose its all about enjoying the day-be warned it becomes addictive i now shoot a 6ppc in br couldnt resist trying to shoot the smallest groups possible. get to diggle on the first saturday in april when the first 100yd shoot is on you will be probably in sporter/factory class ie non custom br rig.

The Gun Pimp Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's probably going to be in the 90gn to 108gn range. Honestly - only the target can tell you which your rifle prefers. Personally, the 105gn Berger VLD has always worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks guys I am using the 105 berger hybrid for long range stuff...when I can get them!! I wanted to save them for long range That's why I was looking for something readily available for short range Mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi ,,,,probably best to stay as heavy as possible,,,,,personally I would get some berger 90 or 105 match boatails [used to be LTB,s] silly groups in my 6br,s Regards O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 If conditions where not too bad weather wise would a flatbase bullet driven faster not be better for teeny tiny groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Only my opinion,,,,,,,,,Berger 80g Fb,s match could possibly be better but I believe they are only available as a varmint head now? Unless you could have a peak under my bed,,,hahaha,,,,,O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
