    Looking for suggestions. Im using 112 MB's currently. At 100 yards, they are very, very tight shooting with good numbers. I ran them in a match today and wasnt crazy about them after 600 yards. They seemed to get very inconsistant to me. Inside 600, no real issues.

    Id like to go bergers, but they are very hard to keep ahold of locally for me, so I rule them out. I also cant find 107 smk 6mm anywhere.

    Has hornady improved their stuff as of late? I can get 108 eldm's pretty easily, and used them 5+ years ago with great luck but continue to read on various forums where people do not like them, or they aren't consistant.
     
    Not sure what your max range is but the Berger 88 gr High BC flat base was phenomenal in my Pacnor 1-8 x26" 243win in Lapua brass.
    It would outperform heavier bulets in the wind due to velocity avantage at ranges I tried it in but settled on 105 scenars and 105 amax since I had alot of powder that favored the heavier bullets.
    I know everyone wants to run the heaviest possible but the lighter weights might surprise you.
