6BR Norma shooter needs help with hunting bullet selection.

I've been playing with the 95gr berger hunting vld and the 90gr Sierra TGK in a 22" dasher. The bergers are doing mid to upper 2700's. Sierras are running 2850ish. Preference towards the berger at the moment. Popped some caracaras that liked to take a run at my ducks with both bullets. The sierra seemed to hold together a little better. A little more explosive result with the berger.

Also have the 108 elite hunter, but I havent loaded any yet. I shot the 85gr sierra bthp gameking a lot from a 243AI. Its a pretty good one also. Probably work well at br speeds.

Maggie’s VPN- if you have one, which did you select?

VPN providers might be able to provide you with some protection if your trying to circumvent things like porn bans and data collection, or torrenting things like music, movies, or ebooks. Treat it as fairly cheap insurance against low level snooping and inconveniences. If you are playing with things that an alphabet soup agency is likely to be interested in, a VPN isn't going to buy you any meaningful protection.

I currently use Mullvad and trust them far more than my local ISP.

Optical zero

I’ve seen someone put a mirror against the lens of the scope, can’t remember if it was the ocular or objective, and then looking through the other end, two reticles will be seen. Turning the turrets allow them to line up, I’m assuming this is mechanical center. I’ve looked through optics with a mirror and saw the two reticles but never tested if it was mechanical center or not.

How’s the gun market?

the fact that the cost of groceries / living / everything you need to keep the roof over your head has gotten so high compared to income
This is a biggest part of it in my shooting circles.. Groceries and other basic living expenses are ramping up so the only ones I see actively expanding their collection make good income or live and breathe shooting... Even then its slowed down, but those people aren't buying the type of gear that most people are trying to sell anyway..

I'm a skeptical person. So a rifle shooting dishka ammo - not known for accuracy- made a shot at 4K meters....


Does Hornaday make an Amax or OTM for the 12.7?
The 14.5x114 has more than twice the case capacity of .50bmg. Most of the projectiles are in the 900 grain range. The rifle has a very slow twist rate of 1:17.91.
