I just got a #1V in 6mm PPC and want to buy some bullets to load. I know these rifles have a 1 in 12" twist and a barrel length of 24". What bullet weight shoots best in this rifle and what is the heaviest bullet weight that will stabilize in this rifle/twist rate? What are some load recipes that work in your #1V's. Thanks.

my ppc is a kimber not a #1, but my load is 28.5 gr H335 and a 70 gr nosler BT

My charts say a bullet up to .931" long (flat base 80gr).

Try the 65 gr Berger match with AA-2015 powder or IMR-8208.
Experiment with different primers -I use Rem 7 1/2 .

Use brass with the neck sized to .002 smaller than the bullet.

Depending on the throat you might have to jump the bullets a lot .
A Sako 6 PPC USA shot well jumping .101 to the lands.

Hi JohnnyB,
I have a # 1-V in 6 PPC and have gotten some very good groups using the info on the Ruger # 1 Group. The record group with a # 1 for the 6 PPC at 100 yds. is .325 set in 2008. This is the average of two 5 shot groups =10 shots, on Ruger # 1 regulation targets. I'll list the components that were used to set the record :

Norma Brass, Federal GM-205-M Primers, Vihta Vuori N-133 Powder,
Berger 68 Gr. Match Bullets.

There's more Info on the Ruger Group about the annual Ruger Shoot and also pictures of the record groups that have been fired.
