6mm-223

I'm not convinced there is s code to be broken; when it comes to accuracy, compromise is a dirty word.

i was gonna hit the range today, 2 much wind where i'm at. Tomorrow is out, gotta scout elk land tomorrow with my bro-in-law. I hate this garbage wind, everyday i want to hit the range, guess what...WIND!!!

I know this is not a definitive test but I backed off my Redding resizer die by a 1/16" to see if it would have any effect on the velocity spread (don't have a neck die for this caliber.) I loaded 10 full length and 10 "backed off" and went to the range today. Posted here are the shot groups with respective velocities. As a note there was a 5 to 10 knot right quartering tailwind.

I am wondering if my chamber might be a bit on the large size in comparison to my die?

I brought my 6 up to the range today, but didn't shoot it because of the wind...My 300wb at 25yards didn't have much of an issue...Every frig'n time i go to the range now with that 6x223 it's windy...I'm done shooting in the wind trying to get groups...

Yea as windy as it has been getting I'll have to dig out the 378 wb. At least the holes will be easier to see.

I did notice a few things yesterday; velocities where lower with less of the neck tensioned, the ES was almost half of the FL and the cases where cooler after firing. I think I would like to try the Redding S series dies and play with the neck tension. My concern is with the inertial cycling of the gas gun could change the bullet seating.

had my 6 out dove hunting, and potted off a few other varmint critters (skunk, coon, turtle)...about 75yds and that thing just turns varmints inside out...

As many problems as we have in finding the the 1hole load, it still kills the varmints deader than a doornail...

I just love this caliber! I was reading on another site a fellow was having success with 100 & 105's out of a 20 inch barrel, so I picked up a box of the 100 g btsp. I started loading for a ladder .

Dove with a 6 mm? I can't hit them on the wing with a 12 gauge!

Well it's coming up on 3 months since I ordered the Black hole barrel, Stacy at Black hole said it would ship by the 17th of August, so I sent an email to see if I could get an updated delivery date....no response. That can't be good.

Just be patient, took 6 months for mine. Thinking about getting a 16", but would rather get a shilen (or other good tube) 26" for my savage model 12 bvss to replace my 223 tube.

I used a 12 for dovecong, should used my 28 but didn't have enough ammo.

I got an email stating it should be ready in a week. Well here is hoping!

I think I too would go with the Savage option. My oldest son and I where at Sportsman's, he has his eye on one flavored in 300 Win Mag. I couldn't believe how light the trigger pull was. I have never seen a factory gun with a trigger pull that light, it had to be well under 3 pounds. It sure was sweet!

This is killing me...between tiling the basement, replacing the clutch in Dodgezilla, and finally some calm winds....I need a range fix!

I got a model 112 bvss in 300wm, damn thing weighs a small ton, but really thumps poodles at 500yds. Can't beat that factory trigger at all!
Sigh, need to rebuild another 16" 6x45 ar after i get a vehicle swap done.
