[Bigkev1]

Hi lads new member just got my fac back with a slot for a 6mm br wot would be the best twist rate for an out an out varmint rifle shooting 87g v max all help appreciated thanks lads

I shot one for 4 years and would always recommend a 1 in 8 twist. It will shoot everything from 75gr- 107gr bullets.

1-8" twist 87gr v-max to 105gr A-max

 

All you will ever need in a 6mmbr

If your only ever going to shoot 87vmax or lighter I would use a 1:10. I run an 8 twist and with the light 55's they do funny things out past 100m especially if its windy. Going to move up to the 70gr to see if that will help a little in keeping the bullets under control at longer range.

My 1/8 loves the 87gr vmax and the 105gr amax great for plinking

1 in 8 ( 1 in 9 might do,but if you get tempted to stretch distance,you will want to try somewhat better BC bullets...and that means heavier,and you are in 1 in 8 territory-so 1 in 8 keeps options open with 87g and above....)

Thanks for the information lads

if you only want to shoot 87gr vmax, a 1 in 12 will do the job. 1 in 10 would be safer, some 1 in 12's are marginal for this bullet with smaller cases.

 

great bullet, you won't be dissappointed with this combination!
