Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Christened the new 6mmBR Today...

Man! I'm lovin this new Varmint Blaster.....

Shooting the Brady Knight 66gr FB's into 0.234" (5-shot groups) @ 100 yds... Not to bad for a 8" twist...:):)

Took this Crow @ 312 yds while he was calling his buddies. Bet that last note he hit was a dandy. Shooting Groundhogs is gonna feel like cheatin with this latest Mickey Coleman Gem...

Oh...Almost forgot...Douglas barrels won't shoot.....;)

Dandy Rig

I heard things about that Mickey fella and 6BR's.

Very nice rifle. I want one.

When did Douglas start to have problems?

That's a good question. I'm not aware of any problems just jesting a bit with some of the Internet eggspurts...

The 6mmBR been on my radar for awhile and seeing yours got me really chomping at the bit. Is yours set up as a repeater with the Mike Byrant fix ? If so how does she feed? what powder you using?
I'm going to have to give Mickey a call though I hear it's a bit of a wait as he doesn't lack for work.

Owning a well-built 6br is like owning a custom fitted set of golf clubs . . . .YOUR [bleep] OUT OF EXCUSES. Nice rig.

Yeah, It's increasingly hard to blame a miss on anything other than myself...

Yes, I did the Mike Bryant mag box fix myself and it works like a charm...

I'm currently using H-322 with the 66gr & 68gr bullets.

I'd get on Mickey's waiting list. He's the real deal...

Remington or Lapua chamber?

Lapua chamber and brass, all the way...

Shooting g-hogs with that number could be cheating.

I do and have done a fair amount of shooting chucks out here in Big Sky Country. My best year I took 457 of the buggers.

Here is what I found, I love to use my hunting rifles for them, and we wouldn't use any varminters so to say.

And chuck out to say 150 had to be offhand.

150-300 we could go at it from sitting

After 300 we could lie down and use the cheater (bipod)if we choose, but we took a serious amount of guff if we did...

Lastly, we got to the point that we would just back up to 450 and start working at them, then we could and would use any rest/next possible.

Nice looking rig, too bad it's wearing a Dougy...grins

My Dougy's all shoot..

Don

Mark, You 'da man !!

I like the sitting position myself but if they're way out there, I'll use the Bipod. Crows usually grt the Bipod from the get-go. I love to watch the black feathers flutter to the ground...;)

Infact, that's what I'm off to do. Catch ya later...

Now if if we'ree gonna talk about crow (nothing but black feathers and brains) then anything is legal and no holds barred!

Hopefully you get to dust a couple...grins

Believe it or not AZ has a season on crows, in addition to prairie dogs.

Believe it or not in Montana you're not supposed to shoot crows and or magpies...

Mark D

Apparently you have a large population of fun police

Well that sucks...

It's open season here, year round on those Black Bandits...

What's the barrel length on that 6mmBR? What do you think of the 30BR? Just came across that one the other day.

Not trying to divert (all) attention from 6mm BR's, but do the techniques mentioned here also apply to .22 BR's?

I'm interested in both the .22 BR and 6mm BR.

The rig sports a 26" barrel. I think I want a 30BR. Oughta be a great little cartrisge...

I'd like to eventually get a 22BR and a 30BR to complete the trifecta. Hard not to like a family of cartridges that is blessed with extreme accuracy...

Thanks. Stuff I'm been reading says the 30BR can be accurate out to about 600 yards, used for big game (deer size at least but with today's premium bullets I think any big game in the lower 48 is not safe) varmints. The other thing I like is that any length barrel from 21" to 24" is good with the 24" having a slight edge in the velocity department. I'm a .308Win. fan and have a model 700 in .308Win. it should not be that hard to convert the 700 to 30BR. I see you have kept your 700 (your rifle looks like a 700) a repeater. How do I get the kit to keep my 700 in 30BR a repeater?

I was torn between the 6mmBR and the 30BR. I chose the 6BR to start with. Will probably do the 30 next...

I`m getting all lined up to add the 22BR version to my arsenal. I picked up a Krieger #4 with 7.7" twist a few months back.
I will try the 75 grain A-Max`s first and work down in weight to see if the accuracy holds up. I been promoting the 6BR when I first had mine done, I hope some of that helped push some over the edge....... I have 2 6BR barrels a 12" twist and a 8.5" twist. They are darlings, but to heavy for anything but a bench, this #4 22BR will be a great crow duster. Cannot wait for things to line up.

You should be happy with the 22BR. Bob Milek was hot on them a number of years ago, so I had one built. It is a shooter, 3 shots into 3/8" at 100 yards. It's a sporter, not a bench rifle.

Looks like somebody would (Remington??) come out with a line of BR cartridges in a factory rifle line. I could see a demand for 22Br, 6mmBR, 7mmBR & a 30BR...
