Question on 6mm Projectiles

Post by **AlanF** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:51 pm

I'm about to start a 6BR switch barrel project and am interested to know what good 6mm match grade projectiles are readily available in Australia? The only one I hear about is the 107gn SMK.

Not telling !!!!

Weren't you against multiple calibers ???

Stick to one of three avalible 107SMK, 105 Lapua or 105 Amax. I would recommend the SMK, they don't measure or weigh as well as the Lapuas BUT in all my barrels they shoot better and are easier to tune.

I use the Lapua 105g projectiles. I have used the 107 MK,s and find there is not much between the two. The Lapua,s seem to be more uniform.

Matt, Cameron

Just because I can change barrels in 10 minutes doesn't mean it'll happen in the middle of a shoot - on the other hand its going to be extremely tempting.... :-k

.

Thanks to you both for the tips. I've come to the same conclusion in 6.5 - the Scenars measure better, but the SMKs give better elevation at the longs.

good measuring sierrs(6.5) in 100 boxes can waterline on the 600 target @ 1000yd.
unmeasured lapuas are not far behind. their weights seem to vary more than the sierras, but they measure better.
bad measuring sierras don't seem to come together when matched by measurement.
this is from compering waterlines at 800m to 1000yd when only shooting for such. other factors beyond knowledge & experience of shooter could make previous statement null & void, but i'm sticking to it as we speak.
