<avidhunter>22 BR and 6mm BR
Can anyone post a picture of these with another caliber like a 243 so i can get a comparison. What kind of velocities do they get?? Anybody have one??
Well almost. I have a 7mm BR in a 10 1/2" barreled Remington XP-100 Silhouette handgun. My preferred load uses the 120 gr Hornady SSP at 2300 fps. It is very accurate and has worked well on whitetail out to 180 yards. I would guess that it would go around 2600-2700 fps from a 20" rifle barrel. From what I have read, the 6mm BR should push a 100 gr bullet at around 2900 fps from a rifle, the 22 BR will very much approximate the 22-250 in performance. I think that the new Nosler manual includes rifle data for these rounds.

DB BillGo to
www.benchrest.com and click on "gunsmiths" on the left. Then click Mike Bryant and look around his site....has some photos against a scale of the 22BR, the 22BR Dasher,etc.
With the right loads the 22BR can approach the 22/250 with a lot more accuracy. Do a web-search using .....22BR..... and you will get hits.

<1GEEJAY>Hey'
My 6br will shoot the 55 grain ballistic tip at 3722.It is very accurate,as are most 6br's.There are a lot of custom made bullets available for this caliber.The6ppc and the 6br are used quite a bit in competition shooting.

Stan in ArJust over 4000 with 52 grain Berger. Has shot two groups one .123 and other .214 with H4895 a little over 3800.
If you build one make sure its chambered for Lapua brass.
