Hi all,
I was just testing my 6mm br at 900 yards the other day, I got 2 5shot groups with 2inch horizontal dispersion and 7 inch vertical which gave me from the furthest holes 7.5 inch and 7.25 inch groups is this alright or should I try to shrink the groups further Iam using 105 amax and 29.9 of 2208 to give me around 2870 fps
What cort of groups should I expect from the 6mm br.
Thanks for your help

6mmbr at 900 yards
Firepower usally means an increased number of misses per minute. 50 misses are not firepower. One hit is firepower

How ya going mate?
the groups at 100 was around the 150-200 thou mark and at 300 it was about 1 inch or so. we shot fclass before at 500 yards on the standard target and I was still getting vertical from the bottom of the bullseye to the middle of the centre bull, so I dont know whats happening, any idea?

I'm going well
1" at 300m is around the mark.
What type of front and rear rest system are u using? it could be affected by an inconsistent platform or technique.
It may be worth doing some more load testing at 300m to see if u can get the vertical inside 1" at 300m then test again at 600m. I'm sure that other forum members wil have an opinion on this but u should be getting better performance from a 6BR.
Note that at 600m u will get some elevation effect due to wind. (R wind raises, L wind lowers for RH twist barrels)...it will prob be in the order of 1/4moa at 600m.

What were the conditions like ???
I have had groups under 3" of verticle @ 900 in good conditions then have shot it the next week at a shorter range and the group has been terrible and you think the gun is broken. If your're getting 10 shot groups around the 1" mark @ 300 there's nothing wrong with the gun.
