    Did you check the rifling twist? That barrel might be 244 Remington :-) I mean it might like short bullets.
    Try the light weight end of the 6 mm range, like a 68 gr or 75 gr flat base hollow point. If these don't shoot then yes you have a bad barrel.

    Sorry for the late response guys - been one of those days.
    @ebf shooting is how I normally test my loads with my rifles - bipod up front and I replicate my day bag under the butt. Im 100% confident its not a teqnique issue. Its a puppy compared to the .270. I shoot from the same spot each time pretty much.
    @rambo-6mmrem - twist rate is either 1 in 10 or 1 in 9 so should handle 90 - 95 grain pills but have tried lighter projectiles. All the reloaded ammo and factory ammo supplied by the guy was 100gr so if it was - and i now dislike this word haha - "very accurate" and the twist was wrong id hate to know how accurate it is with lighter projectiles? Super doper fragilistically accurate! Will view the youtube clip and report back - cheers for your help via pm too - good info
    @Kiwi Greg - cheers man. I visit dirty ol Nelson every now and again so will give a tinkle.
    @Friwi - Good point - I did massive research after the first round of test shooting and learnt a quite a bit about the il 6mm rem. Its more modern than the .244 saga so at worst it'll have a 1 in 10" twist.

    And to everyone else - appreciate the comments and feedback

    Forgot to add to the above guys @robhughes-games and @steven with your guys cases - sucks when things are so clear cut and the system rules against. I don't understand the way the law works and I dont try as it seems one rule for some, another for others and then if you have a bit of coin - then another rule comes into play or if I just had a hit of my crack pipe and ran someone over thn slit her throat but I didnt mean to therfore its not my fault rule.......it goes on and on sadly. When I take this to the disputes and if I loose I'll take it on the chin and move on.
