stephentri Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi getting rifle re barrelled in 6mm br, looking to shoot 108g eld-m, 26inch barrel looking some information on what powder, I have n140 and n150 any other information or tip appreciated as I am new to 6mm br, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 N150 is a good powder for 105gr bullets, I would expect it will also work well with 108s, N140 might be too fast for the heavies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 It might be worth noting that the UKBRA 1000 yard record for a five-shot group now measures 2.322 inches and was shot with a 6BR using Vit N140 powder. The group was shot by Mr David Sharp in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not - N140 works perfectly well, and damn accurately with the 107 SMK...as well as with 103 eld-x....at least in my rifle Try both powders, and test ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, every day is a school day as they say, well worth knowing 👍 I tried N140 with 105s in my 6BRA and it didn't like it at all, poor accuracy and the pressure spiked very quickly.

17 Rem Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Digressing somewhat I know, but should you want to run bullets as light as 70 grains in your BR in the future, N140 does very well with them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 So the question; N140 or N150 if starting from scratch. My varget stock is drying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
