6mm 112 Match Burners

[Schmo]

If you’ve hand loaded 112 Match Burners, what has been your experience? Finicky or easy to load for? Super accurate? Consistent? I’ve got a new 6 PRC barrel with .180 free bore that I will be loading for this summer for an all purpose hunting rifle. Antelope to elk. I know that bullet is good terminally, and they’re pretty affordable. Just curious what your hand loading experience has been with them?

One of the least fussy bullets I have used.

I was hoping to hear something like that. They have a nice high BC too. I understand it’s best if minimum impact velocity is 2,000 fps

From what I’ve seen they are pretty solid down below 2,000fps, however being an OTM VLD they will get a bit erratic at times.

Sweet! Appreciate you chiming in!

Anybody care to comment on the accuracy of their BC?

I used a G7 of .286, G1 .624 equivalent on my Revic app.

They are incredibly accurate. 41.8 of H4350 was getting me 2940 +- from an 18” barrel.
Shot about 800 of them last year out to 1300 yards and killed my moose at 525 with them.

How was the terminal performance on them?

Thanks Ben! Planning on using these in my 18” 6 PRC

Sounds like a winner. I’m going to have to give them a try.

Yeah you should. I still have 500 of them and kept my 6 CM dies, just in case I decide to bump back up from 22 CM after this season.

Anyone ever used them in a 6ARC?

Have a bunch of factory ammo to shoot, but was considering grabbing some to reload. Other option would be just sticking with 108 ELD-M.

Barrel isn't in yet so not sure what velocity I'll be getting yet.

I was pretty committed to 108eldms in my Mcgowen 243win I had spun up a few months ago, but I’d like to see how these shoot for that price and performance

I used them last fall on an elk at 350 and a mule deer at 648, and was very happy with the performance. MV around 3250. The G1 bc of .62 was right on for me out to 1100.

What was that out of? I won’t be matching that velocity
