I have a 6mm Rem. with a factory . No problem whatsoever shooting 85 to 100 grain Sierras. Heck it shoots 105's pretty decent too.

I’d go 9 or 9 1/4.

I’ve got a 7.5 and 8 twist. Why is JWP a pretender for what he said? At least for me, a Hunter using hunting bullets, what’s the downside from faster twist from 22 to 375?



I agree.
Put two rifles in 6mm of some flavor in the classifieds and see which one sells first - the faster or slower twist. 😉

It appears we have some folks that’d do well to embrace a new century.

WOW, perhaps you did not read my first post and the concerns I raised for going too fast a twist, if you notice jack wagon was on to it instantly because he is a sexual intellect (aka:fhuqking know it all) that probably has never had a fast twist 6mm barrel......hence the question I posed. I know for sure he shot a 2 point with a 338 Lapua and 300gr SMK, but wanted knowledge of his 6mm 1-7" twist experience ???????????

Was looking at some load data today for the Barnes 95gr LRX. That one needs 1-8”.

Reason enough for me to go fast twist. Not the only bullet I shoot, but I want to be able to shoot it if possible.

You just like being a di k head apparently. Your opinion or experience has zip to do with anyone else's. I shoot a lot of fast twist barrels dick head

I have a 6mm Creedmoor in a 7" twist barrel and a 6mm Remington in a 7 ½" twist barrel. Why, you ask? Because I could get them twisted that fast.

My 6 creeds are 7 twist.


Because that’s how Barrett twisted them.

I’ve sent a bunch of the 105 AM downrange at 3000+ fps using 7” 4G, 8” 4G, and 9.125” 6G barrels, and have never had one blow up. That applies to the 108 ELD and 115 DTAC from the 7” and 8” twist barrels, as well.

I have a 1986 700 varmint special factory 9 twist. My load is 105 amax reloader 26 48.3 at 3220. 2.870 coal. It shoots and stabilizes great at that speed. If you’re going to shoot 80 grain I would stay with 9 twist

This might be of some use when considering twist rates.


It is easy to want to try this bullet and that and oh yeah that.....The one thing this helped me do is pare down that list to those most likely to fit in with what has worked in my rifle.

Enjoy

I always wonder when people have trouble with bullets "blowing up" if it isn't a rough throat that is scoring jackets that weakens them versus plain old RPM's..

That's what some cannot wrap their heads around. Has to do w length more than weight.

I have a 12 twist 6X47 Rem, 10 twist .243 Win, 7.5 twist Creed, 7 twist Creed, and a 7 twist 6X45. The last three get shot far more than the first two. Had a 7 twist .243 as well, but I had no use for a 15lb all up rifle but it did shoot!
