I haven't yet, but 6br always feeds best from a centerfeed aics mag with a br kit in it.So, I’m guessing this is a no?
Went by the LGS yesterday after work, figured I'd grab a box or 2 of Berger 168's, but they were out... So I grabbed 5x boxes of these from the same lot #. Maybe it will like them better...

I haven't even cleaned my brass or sized it from last trip, as I've had tons of shit going on this week after work, but I might just resize them dirty and load them up, just wiping the case necks off. I hate doing that, but I'm not firing up the US and the tumbler for 50 pieces of brass... Everything else I've got is cleaned and sized right now... It's kind of a labor of love for me, so I go through quite the thorough process of cleaning and prepping brass, and I do large batches at a time, so doing all that shit for 50 pieces is not happening.

Conventional polymer tips in high BC bullets melt in flight. Hornady engineers discovered that conventional bullet tip materials in streamlined, high BC bullets melt and deform.

Well... It seemed to like the Hornady 168 ELD-M's better... Plus, I'm only jumping them 0.010" from the lands, and they're still well inside of mag length, and cycle perfectly.
Here's the best group of the day (it's only 4 shots, because it was the starting load, and I shot the first round to confirm my POI on another target)...

Technically I have all the stuff, just waiting to finish off the 6.5cm barrel. Trying to figure out my loads before I switch to the dasher. I did get the mdt metal 6br mags. I’m hoping they work. Worst case the new gray ops ones seem popular.So, I’m guessing this is a no?
When you get the opportunity to throw some lead down range, please come back and tell us what you have learned!
This was my experience with the factory barrel. I experimented with Berger and Sierra bullets of different weights, but the 168 ELDM’s grouped the best. This was the load I took to a recent NRL Hunter comp.

It definitely seems to like slower, than faster… Which is kind of a pisser, but 44.0 was pushing @ 2,634 FPS MV avg. Only 11.9 ES, and a 4.3 SD, too.
