I just needed a load that worked, since I didn't have enough time to do a proper load/ladder work up before going sage rat/ground squirrel hunting in Eastern Oregon. Used all my loads, no pressure issues, but precision wasn't there obviously.
In searching through other threads, Lever Revolution is very popular here,
Any other thoughts?
I find this very interesting indeed. I shoot with a group that are shooting 6mm BR, BRA, Dashers and one other 6mm ARC. These are all long barrel custom bolt rifles and they all keep telling me the same thing which repeats the load you describe. With the exception that they are all using Berger bullets.
Yet as you describe and repeat what others keep voicing is that the LeveRevolution is the way to go. Though I have not tried either as of yet I am leaning with the ARC crowd and passing on the Varget.
