Finally got out this morning to start working up loads in my 6mm bullberry. 40 cases were fireformed. I had 10 cases already fireformed. Only the 50 yr bench was open. I was using H-4895, WW cases and Federal 210M primers.

15 shots with 29.5 grs H-4895, 75 gr Hornday 75 gr HP went into group of .607. Cases were being fireformed

5 shots with already formed cases and the above load went into .389

Cleaned barrel

5 shots with already fireformed cases and 31 gr H-4895 and Remington 68 gr Br bullets went into .218

10 shots with first load above went into .270

barrel and chambering is awesome. Hope to get to shooot next weekend at 100 yds at new range and work up loads with Remington 68 gr and Sierra 80 gr single shot pistol bullets. Long live the 6mm Bullberry.

Mike I hope to get the chrono out next weekend. I have a place to shoot now with 100, 200 and 300 yds just have to figure out why the bench isn't steady and fix it. Yote hunter lives 8 or 10 miles north of me and has let me put my new bench on his place. He doesn't post much but you can't meet a nicer guy. I'm looking forward to do a lot of shooting with him

Tommy-Hope you get your bench steadied. I had a problem with mine a while back, and then I found a $5 cure. At a flea market/resale shop type setup, I found an old, iron table that someone had put a tile cover on. It was quite heavy and a devil to get home, but I junked my other setup in short order. It is absolutely the steadiest thing I have found.
