Jackie ... When it comes to

6mm bullets my notes indicate you use Bruno's OO BTs with .825 jackets. What grain bullet? 65 or 68? Why .825 jackets versus say .750 or .790 jackets? What's the advantage with the .825s? Thanks for your response. Art

Why not pick up the phone and call Lester?

I shoot what Lester makes, 68 grn on a .825 jacket. He did a lot of experimenting with weights, and jacket lengths, and decided that the .825 at 68 grns was best. When it is all said and done, Ole Lester knows quite a bit about making a Boat Tail Bullet
I have come accross nothing to contradict his findings.........jackie
