Barnes Match Burners 6mm 105 grain

[BuLLet]

How are the Barnes Match Burners?

I can get them down to about 30 cents each delivered. Would use in 6MM GT and 6MM Creedmoor. Usually use SMK but, at this price maybe it's worth getting a few and trying them out. Though I'd have to get 2000 to make the 30 cent mark.

Thoughts?

That’s what I’m using for now in my dasher until the barrel craps out. They shoot fine, a little anemic in the bc, but accuracy is good.

No experience with the 105 but I have a friend that sorts the 112MB by length and has good success with them.

My experience with the 69MB has been excellent.

I've used the 105s and 112s, in both 6BRA and 6CM.
I like the 112s better, BC is better and they seem easier to tune. A little anemic in 6BRA, not sure hot the GT would manage.

They're currently in stock at PV and cheaper than midway. The last few times I've picked up 500 packs, midway and barnes direct were the most expensive options.

Thanks, I ended up getting 2000 from powdervalleyinc.com @ 30 cents each delivered.

I'll try the 112s as well. Seem inexpensive to give them a whirl and may prove fruitful.

I use them in 243 LBC (a predecessor to the 6 ARC) and like them just fine. I really like the 145gr version in my 6.5 Creed. Have some in 69 and 85gr flavors for 5.56 too but haven't used them enough to say.

While they (the 105 6mm) may not be as sexy as some of the top grade match bullets, they don't suck either. And they're not like RDFs either that just shoot horribly if your rifle doesn't love them.

What did you settle on here as far as powder, seating depth and everything else you would share? For the 105 match burners.

Just getting into the 6 gt. I bought a second hand gun with a few hundred rounds on the barrel. Previous owner has a 112gr match burner load worked up already.

When I went to build a profile for it in AB, the software said that my 7.5 twist rate wasn’t maximizing the BC of the 112.

I ordered 500 105’s because they’re apparently maximized by the 7.5 twist.

I have a bunch of h4350 but I have good access to all the big powders near by.
