UM factory 6mm CM 95 grain DRT interest

[ehayes]

How many people would purchase 6mm creedmoor 95 grain DRT terminal shock loaded ammunition if Unknown Munitions offered it?

I don’t hand load and this seems to be the most recommended non lead option. I have had good accuracy with all other UM “factory” loads I have ordered from them.

I had them work up the 175 DRT for my 300wsm and it was stellar. Currently my build with them is in load dev for 135g DRT with a 6.5 PRC. If you ship them bullets they would work something up with you. I had a great experience with 2 calibers and I would anticipate the same with the 6 creed

Did you send them your 300 wsm? If not, how did you come to the load you wanted them to build for you?

I filled out the custom load request form and did a pile of research and sent in thoughts and estimates and when they accepted the order I sent in the DRT bullets. They sent a test pack ladder and worked up a load and it shot great! I ended up selling the wsm but I won’t hesitate to do a load with them again. The custom I am building with them is getting the full load dev treatment

I would be VERY interested in this!

Why are people so hesitant to reload?

I don’t understand these boutique loaded options. It sounds good on the surface but what are you gonna do when UM runs out of that same powder lot? Or when you shoot through all your brass? Everything changes and you have no ability to adjust accordingly.

Or are you guys ordering thousands of dollars worth of ammo at a time, to last a whole barrel?

In this case, the answer would be "yes". I have just found that it is the "time" factor for reloading for me at this point. If it cost me an additional $1k for someone else to have done it. I have easily spent that in time and components. I just want to go shoot. If I had a 100y spot next door to me, where I could literally do a load dev in a day, that would be another story, but at this point, getting to the "load" takes me way too long.

I understand that, I used to tell myself similar things. But again, what do you do when lots change? Or UM is out of the original powder or new brass or?

Well a mute point now ... 250 Starline LRP, 500 Barnes 112g MB on the way. I have ~900 GM201M and a couple thousand CCI 200, and about 7 lbs of RL16 ... So I guess I am going to figure this out. I am in hopes that this is a fairly easy load to work up. I also have H4350, Superformance, StaBall 65, Hunter, and Magnum ... and now you know why I get lost in the weeds.
