For those of you that shoot benchrest rifle competition, I am curious to get some thoughts on your bullet heads. What do you find are the most consistant in weight and shape?
I just had a 6mm BR made with a 1 in 12 twist and I have had pretty good luck with Berger 80 gr FB's. I know there are many custom bullet makers out there and if you don't mind sharing experiences with me, I would certainly appreciate any advise. I bought 500 from a company which was supposed to be reputable and found a more than desirable difference in weight of them.
I really don't want to experiment paying for 500 at a time, if you know what I mean.
I also, am having a 6.5x47 Lapua made. That will have a 1 in 8 twist. Any thoughts on custom bullets for that would also be a help. I know there are many more custom 6mm heads available than the 6.5s, but there must be some somewhere.
I will experiment with the SMKs and the Bergers, but looking for other options. I have heard good and bad about the new Noslers, all third hand though.
Thanks in advance for any input. I'm not sure if I will get into the benchrest game, but sure do like shooting bughole groups.
