I am cautiously optimistic on this new release and I assume that some of the issues that were present with the 117’s will be “nailed down” with this bullet. Personally after shooting the big 6mm bullets this past long range season I am of the opinion that 115 gr is about as big as a 6mm bore size can effectively handle and right on the edge as far as reliability, consistency and accuracy goes.
With everything in proper balance and just right you can get the 115’s running well, but they are not near as forgiving as the bullets down in the 105-108 gr range. A 110-111 gr 6mm bullet is kind of at the midway point between the 115’s and the 105-108 gr class of bullets. We’ll see how this will play out. I would love to try them when they come out.
