Default Remington 22 and 6 BR Bullets

I have shot both in competition. Started competing in BR in 1977 at the NBRSA Nats. Met Jim Stekl, Broughton, Donna Lee, Berger, Metzger, Morton, Hoehn, Kelbly, and allot of good BR shooters of that time. Only had Sierra 52 and 68 grn bullets. While at Kelbly's Range I bought Remington 22 and Metzger 6mm bullets. Better bullets than I could shoot. Remington's were bronnze in color and shot in tiny holes at 100 yds. Later when the Remington 68 grn bullets came out I bought 1000 22's and 2000 6's. Amazing accuracy good as bullets of it's time. What say you bullet engineers.

I still have a decent "Stash" of the 22 cal BUT my 6mm are long gone. Steve you are correct they were as good as any bullets being produced at the time. I also have a few Speer Silver and Gold match that Neil Knox was shooting at the time

Mac McMillan who set the record of .009 shot Pat McMillan's 50 grn 22 cal bullets. Before my time but I was reading BR back then.

At one time, I owned 10,000 of the 52 Gr. Remington bullets . . . once I obtained a set of B & A .224 dies, I sold the entire LOT - they were very good bullets. As Hippy points out, both of the SPEER offering were pretty decent too - not many recall that SPEER made very competitive BR quality bullets. RG
