I have come into a small quantity of these bullets for my 243.
Has anyone had any experience with these bullets.
Will work up a load if your replies are positive.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Interesting you posted this just now. On a 25-06 thread now going I indicated wounding some Elk as a young man with a 6mmx.270 IMP. using the wrong or unintended bullet. The bullet in question was the Speer 105 RN. At the velocities that rifle was reaching I think that bullet would have come apart on a ground squirrel. roger

bartsche,

Just courious. Why did you choose a 105gr RN bullet in a 6mm-270IMP?

Bloop;

that bullet is out of production, but a charge of between 38 to 43 grains of H 414 will make a very accurate load...

Work up in your rifle... I have one that will take up to 44 grains of H 414 with no problems ( Model 70) and another that only likes it up to like 41 grains or so ( Ruger 77 Mk 2)...

Don, this goes back to about 1967 when I had five kids to feed on Colorado wages. I think someone gave them to me. It certainly wasn't a designed scenario. roger

If memory serves, those bullets were intended for the .244 Rem. Those rifles were handicapped by too slow a twist to reliably stabilize 100 grain spitzers, but many of the owners wanted a deer bullet for their varmint rifles. The shorter RN bullets would stabilize and turned the .244 into a passable deer rifle.

Remington long since increased the twist rate and changed the name to 6mm Rem so those bullets are now a solution to which there is no problem.

Good memory! roger
