Title: Source for benchrest-quality bullets in Canada
Post by: South_Pender on September 28, 2022, 04:19:18 PM: I'm looking to buy some 6mm. bullets for a new 6 PPC. It's not really a BR rifle, but I'd like to source some really topnotch 6mm. bullets--lightweight, 60-68 gr. Is there someone here in Canada that can supply these? I know where I can get some Berger 65s and 68s, but am wondering whether there are some other high-accuracy bullets out there for sale in Canada in that weight range.

Good to know. I think I will give the 64 gr a try.

Post by: murray brook on April 22, 2023, 12:25:18 PM: Well just after I last posted I purchased a box (250) of Stinger 64 gr Killer Bees. Finally got to try them out yesterday and today as our snow is finally mostly all gone. Great bullets. As @duceman posted no need for the Berger anymore. In fact I have 8 boxes of the 64 Column Bergers and they just might be up for sale soon. In my 6 Br I just substituted the Stinger bullet with the 64 Berger and shot smaller. Will only get better when I fine tune. Tried them in my Sako 6mm PPC USA and shot in the mid 3's first time out with a virgin factory rifle. Most certainly will be purchasing more. Never heard of these till I seen their banner on here. The Pollock brothers should advertise these more. JMO

seriously, we are truly blessed to have so much Canadian content in regard to barrels, bullets, actions, stocks, cleaning supplies and all the other sundries it takes to be competitive. and these products are not just 'fillers', these products are winning top level matches.
