For some reason
I coul,nt get the picture to post, but the link worked.
I bought the rifle with s scope yesterday.
I got a buch of 1s fired factory brass forom the same rifle.
The forarm hanger has been reworked by somebody who know what they are doing and the forarm is full length glass bedded.
I sure hope she shoots, cause it will be real hard to fix if it does,nt.
I put together a couple of hand loads with 95 grain balistic tips, and 100 grain hornady bts.
Gonna load up a little more and hopefully shoot next week...tj3006

I have one, 200th year of our liberty, model and she shoots!

Nice looking rifle!

TJ,
What powders will you use to work up your loads?

My 6MM which is not nearly as nice as yours seems to shoot everything well. I have yet to find a load using H414, IMR 4831, AA4350 or IMR 4350 pushing the 95 gr. Ballistic Tip that wouldn't get inside MOA.

I too have a Ruger #1 in 6mm Rem. I only use it for varmit hunting. A load that shoots sub-MOA in my rifle is:

Sierra 75 grain "Varmiter" Hollow Point bullet.
47.2 grains IMR 4831
Rem 9 1/2 primer
W-W brass
C.O.A.L. of 2.850"

Ruger #1's have long throats, and it helps to seat the bullets out longer than SAAMI specs. This load's velocity is about 3,600 FPS. What it does to groundhogs is ugly!

TJ, I didn't think you were capable of even shooting something that small!

Very pretty rifle. Can't wait to see what groups you get with it.

T.J. Try 39.0 grains of Varget behind an 87 grain hornady VMAX and for more speed and good accuracy also, try 49.0 grains of Reloader 19 and the 87 grain VMAX. GHD

I rebarreled a Model 700 Long Action to 6mm Rem, with a one in 7 twist...24 inch Pac Nor Stainless Barrel, heavy magnum contour....

the most accurate load I have of any of my rifles, is for that one...

47.5 grains of H 414, 75 grain Hornady HP

for an 80 grain ballistic tip, I drop the charge down to 47 grains even....

for a 90 grain BTip, I drop the charge down to 46 grains...

and a 95 grain Ballistic Tip, I drop it to 45 grains...

for the Speer 105 SP, or Hornady A Max, I drop the charge to 43.5 grains...

bullets are seated to magazine length, and the chamber is throated to accomodate magazine length bullets...

I shoot bullets out to the size of the 115 grain Berger Match out of that rifle... the charge that is the most accurate is 46 grains of RL 19..

got that load off of article by David Tubb if I remember correctly...worked it up and tried it... he was referring to it using his 118 grain bullets he sells..

Here ya' go...

Good looking rifle!
I have a 244 Rem that shoots the Nosler 95 grain partitions very well, with IMR-4350, or RL-19, and Fed 210's.
