I run them both in my 6x6.8 and IMO a heavier bullet is not needed on deer & antelope. Noslers HBT does an excellent job of dropping game. The 90/95 runs at 3000 fps in my rig 22" bbl, bolt build. Pass the 105's. Hint............. Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

From the mountaintop, Stick. I am still wondering about your preferred seater die, though. I can peruse some drawings, I suppose, but if your getting by using that Forster 6 PPC seater, I'd like to know. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I've got lotsa Sizers/Seaters and swap alotta thangs around. The Forster 6PPC will get you there,but I prefer an RCBS Comp Seater(with the window)...they cross nicely to a whole slew of chamberings and are a well kept "secret".

I got two 6mm Grendel / 6mmAR / .243 LBC 20-inch light contour 1:9 barrels ordered. I expect to be waiting a couple of months, but that's okay. That will gimme time to hunt down BCGs, stripped uppers, and other goodies. My lowers came in today, so I'm on my way. My current 6.5G will be reverting to 5.56, so I'll have some stuff to peddle to grease the skids a bit. I've built .223 / 5.56 ARs before, but this is already much more fun. Don't be the darkness. America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
