6 TCU for BB

Post by Chuck40 »

I know 6 BR works pretty well for big bore, but is anyone shooting 6 TCU in production? Is it enough with 100-107 grain bullets?

I got a 6 TCU last year and absolutely love it. Shooting 100 grain Prvi Partizan bullets, they are relatively cheap, available, and pretty accurate. Have not rung a ram yet (knock on wood).

The 6TCU is a joy to shoot. I had mine build a couple of years ago and love it. Mine is a 1-7" twist and I shoot 107gr bullets at around 2200fps and have not lost a BB ram.

I have a bullberry made 12" contneder barrel 6TCU. It shoots well. I've been trying to talk myself into shooting it in flop. US would be nice.

Now you have me thinking. Spend the money on a brake for flop or just buy a high rise Ken Light and shoot US?

Sounds like fun. How about half scale?

It should do well. I have a 12" contender bullberry barrel. I put a nikon 3-9 bdc scope on it. I have it on the list of things to try out. I'd like to shoot it flop but I don't have a brake on it so I'm not sure that will work. Bullets in the 80 grain range shoot well out of it.
