Sierra has discontinued 6 MM bullets on sale, free shipping and no sales tax. They have a moly coated 55 & 70grain Blitz King and a 90 grain FMJ. The 90 grain FMJ might make some good shorter range plinking and target ammo.

Scored 3 boxes of the 90's, thanks for the lead! They'll work perfect for the 3 boxes of Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass I'll be fire forming after I neck the down to 6 ARC

Does anyone have a recommended starting OAL for the 90 gr? I have written down 2.11, but cannot figure out, other than my imagination, where I got that number from.

My notes say I did my fireforming in my Lilja at 2.05". They have a relatively short nose - the main reason I had bought a box was because they fit in 6x45.

Very glad I asked before using that number. Thanks again SH.
