I bought a Rem 700 Custom rifle chambered in 6mm a couple years ago. It has a Douglas Precision heavy contoured barrel on it which has the 1:10 twist. Because of the configuration of the barrel, I really considered this gun to be more of a Varmint killer than anything. It's a pretty heavy gun to heft into the steep terrain in my part of the world. The gun will not shoot a light bullet for beans. After playing with my "Load from a disk" ballistic software, the choice bullet will be the 87 grain Hornady V Max or the 85 grain Sierra Varminter. I just last night loaded up a bunch of test rounds with a couple different powder combinations and hope to run them through the Chrony this Saturday. It's been a long time coming to get this thing to shoot right, I hope the software is as good on this load as it has been on all my others.
If it works than I'll have a sweet, wind shuckin' Varmint Rifle!
