mstarling6mm Rem 105 gr VLD twist?
Guys,
Anyone try the 105 gr Berger VLD in a 1 in 9 twist 6mm Rem? Berger recommends a 1 in 8. That's probably ideal ... but would be interested in any real experience with the bullet in the more common 1 in 9 twist.
Thanks!

I really like Berger bullets but this one struck out in a 1:10 twist. 6" group at 50 yds. and none of the holes were round.

JohnlyA 27 1/2" Remington 1:9.25" twist barrel with a max load of RL-22 would not stablize this bullet.

muckOne turn in 7" or maybe 8". This bullet is very long. It more closely resembles a 78 RPM phonograph needle. LOL

seafire2I have a 6mm Rem with a one in 7 twist.. a load of 46 grains of RL 19, with this bullet or the 115 grain Bergers, are both tackdrivers in my Rem 700 ( Long action) with an MV at 3250 with the 115s and 3300 fps with the 105s...
