There are two of us Building a 6mm SLR and the plan is to run the A-max 105
I run 105 Berger VLD hunting for the long range stuff in mine 75 V max for the explosions
105 A max don't go as good in my barrel, having said that I have not persevered with them.

105 Berger 108 Berger or 107 Sierra all work well. The slr feeds heaps better out of Ai Mags than std 243.

I use a 271 for neck sizing I use a 276 for forming Lap 308 Palma cases that fits the sizing mandrel for my neck turner without having to go all the way to 271. saves .006 of stress on the neck of the case if you can follow that.
I turn the necks to .015 a side.
If you need any further info send me a PM.

ITS FINISHED
Well it was finished a couple of years ago.
A lot has happened since then.Only fired around 200 rounds.Half way through the build I had lost all interest in shooting,in part to Family matters.Just had no time or motivation.

So now I’m getting back into it and having a Blast.
