DTAC 115

Has anyone out there tried these big suckers in your 6br ? If so how are they working for you and what was your starting load.

I'm shooting them in my "play" gun, a 6 BR, 1x8" Shilen Hunter rifle. I shoot 90 grain MK's thru the turkeys and then the 115's for Rams. On a GOOD ram range (say like Raton) I get about 80% of ram hits and maybe a little more but on a tough range it falls off a LOT, but it sure is fun to shoot. I shoot H-4831SC powder and started with 30 grains. The load I shoot gives good case life but it's a pain to get that much powder in the case.

I have used them with a 6mm-250. A little better than 80% on a good ram set (with no wind) but I can generate a bit more speed. So far the best I have found.

For Chickens, Pigs and Turkeys, I am using the Sierra 1531 85g bullet with 4350 about 36 grains. Of course everyone should figure their load out themselves and not take reloading data from strangers

For really windy conditions the 105 Sierra is a good bullets for Turkeys.

The Sierra is a 107 Grainer,,,,,,,,,, and you may wish to try the newer 95 grain MK (#1537) for the shorter lines. They got me into AAA class with my Hunter gun.
