6bra bullet choices

[DynamicAccuracy]

I'll have my 6bra barrel middle of april and I'm trying to decide what bullet to start with. My smith recommends 105 berger hybrids. But I'm wonder how it compares to the 107 smk or 112 barnes matchburners.

I run pointed 105 Hybrids in mine with excellent results. The 110 SMK was so-so, gave up on that bullet. Good reports on accuracy for the 107SMK but the BC isn't as good. No experience with the 112's.

Benchrest guys run expensive custom bullets, but for PRS I'd say run the 105 Hybrid and don't look back.

This is what I was hoping to hear. I gotta bunch of 'em and a BRA barrel just waiting to be broken in.

I've had excellent results with Berger 105gr VLDs and 108BT - that is an exceptional bullet in this calibre.

I did look at the 103 vaportrails. I shoot matches with tom Jacob's and was talking to him about his bullets

His bullets shot a group at 1 inch at 1000 yards.
When Clay Spencer owned the dies they set 22 records.
Great bullet.
The 103 Copperhead is an Australian clone.

105 Berger Hybrids are a perfect match for try 6BRA.

I would stay in the 105-108 weight range. 110's seem to be hit or miss, and I think the 115 class bullets need a bit more power behind them to do them justice.

Yeah I've heard mixed results with 110s and I like speed so 115 with such a small case are out.

Not trying to hijack but any experience with the 108eld in the bra?

Check on accurateshooter.com. lots of loading info there for the 6BRA. I believe there has been a few success stories with that bullet.

In the BR circles for non custom bullets people are liking the Berger 108 TBT which has caused higher demand for them so they are not easy to find.

I noticed that. Pretty much extinct right now

plus berger is not going to run 6mm bullets for another 2-3 months
