89tenbus: I am also a big fan of the 6mm Remington Bench Rest cartridge - I get superb accuracy from mine.
IF... I do not get barrel (accuracy!) life of 3,000 rounds out of each of my 22 Remington Bench Rest Rifles I WILL be surprised.
One of my 22 BR's shoots Varmints extremely efficiently with 40 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips I have not done a lot of load testing with that gun as it shoots these so well I just didn't see much need.
The other 22 BR shoots the Berger 52 grain bullets extremely well and I use these for Rock Chucks and Prairie Dogs.
Loads to follow - phone call!
Hold into the wind
