chazgreen6 BR- advise needed
I'm about to have a 6br built & thought i'd choose a Kreiger barrel. Now i see that their 6 groove barrel is only available in twists of 1;13, 1;14, 1;15. the 70-95 grain bullets i want to shoot seem to call for a twist of 1;10 or 1;9. kreiger makes a 4 (four) groove for 243/6mm in 12;8, 1;9, 1;10 etc. will the 4 groove barrel provide me with the accuracy most shooters espect/require, or do i have to look to another manufacture? thanks/ chaz

butchlambertGo to the 6mmbr forum and check out the test that Jackie Schmidt is doing for them. He is using a 8 twist Kreiger 6 groove barrel. I don't know where you got your info. He had great luck with 105 Berger bullets at 2900+ FPS. He is testing at 200 yds with a railgun to keep a lot of the gun handling problems out of the testing. He is going to try to test at 600 yds this next weekend and will use the BIB 95 grn bullets. BIBs are great bullets. You will find a wealth of info on this caliber.
