The standard bullet diameter for 6 mm caliber cartridges is .243 inches (6.2 mm), the same diameter used in the .243 Winchester and 6mm Remington cartridges. To obtain maximum accuracy, bullet weight and form are matched to the rifling twist rate of the barrel. Typically, 68 gr (4.41 g) bullets are used in barrels with twist rates of 1 in 13 ...
Like the .243 Winchester, it has a fast rifle twist of 1-10 inches. However, if 105 grain bullets are used, it is recommended that a 1-9 or even faster twist is used to stabilize the bullets. Very few manufacturers specifically create 6mm Musgrave rounds, with PMP (Pretoria Metal Pressings) method. However, many South African distributors have ...

A ballistic tip bullet is a hollow-point rifle bullet that has a plastic tip on the end of the bullet. This improves external ballistics by streamlining the bullet, allowing it to cut through the air more easily, and improves terminal ballistics by allowing the bullet to act as a jacketed hollow point.
