6BR Norma shooter needs help with hunting bullet selection.

I’ve been shooting MatchBurners in my BR for the better part of 5-6 years and only shooting steel/paper with awesome results.

My son is getting to the age where he’s more than happy shooting MY rifle and has the itch to kill some stuff.

I initially was searching for a bullet that could serve as both a target and hunting projectile that was economical and would be able to handle thin to medium skin game to several hundred yards… Mainly hogs, deer, coyote and ram.

I did not find anything that I was happy to let bridge the gap, and decided that the best option would be to keep my current range load, and start a new load development with a hunting bullet.

I’m still wide open on hunting bullet options but have done some initial development with the 103 gr ELD-X.

I’m concerned about interlock vs bonded cores, and know a bonded bullet would be better on hogs specifically, which I foresee being the bulk of what we kill in TX.

Seeing as how he will be shooting whatever we decide on out of a 6BR and likely at BR speeds… 2700-ish… should I stay with an interlock construction to get safe and reliable expansion, even if I give up a little bit of weight retention?

Firearms CK Arms 2011

Long story short,
I bought this here about a year ago. I sent it out to get some mods done and I bought another one while it was away.
It started as a CK Arms 2011 with a 5" TiN bull barrel. It came with the Dawson tooless guide rod
It just came back from DSC gunworks with the following mods:
LoneStar SS grip module
LoneStar Magwell
LoneStar Trigger (medium flat)
Atlas Grip Bushings
Atlas Shielded Ambi Safety
Extreme Engineering Hammer Strut

At some point, the ejector was cracked off. The pistol still functions as normal, but I would replace this at some point. I have an ejector that was fit to the slide, but it would need to be coated if you want everything to match.
I was told the pistol had about 1k rounds when I bought it. I've put maybe 500 rounds on it since then.

2000 OBO shipped with 2 MBX mags
Would also trade for NX8 2.5-20 mil-XT in tan or LMT piston upper/toward rifle (L or H)
PM me for questions/comments

Are Whidden Dies Worth It?

Hello, I'm curious if whidden dies are worth it and live up to the hype. My search here mainly shows dies for sale. I've been using Forster dies and find their bench rest ultra micrometer dies to work very well. I'm going to be reloading for 6cm and 7 prc soon, just trying to decide if I'm going to drop extra dollars for whidden. Case use will be a mix of hunting and range use out to 800-1000.

Staball match for 6gt

For those that have tried Staball match with 6gt, how has that worked for you? A friend of mine has been getting single digit SD and sub 25 fps ES dropping powder on a progressive press. Is he a lucky guy, or is this pretty common? I have seen others reporting just ok results with it in 223 but cannot find much info on staball match with other cartridges that like the varget burn rate powders. Thanks.
