Finally got loads put together, and started to break in the Black Hole Weaponry barrel.

I loaded forty, 85gr BTHP GK over 23gr of H335 for the break-in.

Everything I had heard about the quality, and accuracy of BHW barrels is true, and then some. Once I got it sighted in at 100 yards, I shot a five shot group to see what it would do, first three shots touching for a .24 group, ( had to walk down to the target while the copper killer was soaking, to see if my spotting scope was lying ) , shot two more, for a overall group of .73.

Not overly thrilled with how dirty the h335 is, could not believe how dirty the barrel was after one shot, but the accuracy is good.

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics.

I do not have a chrono yet, I plan on getting a ProChrono soon, I would love to have two, one at the muzzle, one at 100 yards, to really see what it's doing.

18" SPR style, .75 at the gas block.

Which hunting bullets are y'all using? I will try the 85gr SGK HPBT first, but just read on another forum that they may not expand reliably at the slower speeds of the 6x45.
