Can you hit an egg at 600+ feet? It is important to hit the egg reliably, not just by chance. You will need to have good shooting skills and a precise rifle to do this. How precise? A chicken egg is on average 2 1/4 inches (57mm) long and 1 3/8 inches (44.5mm) wide. A rifle capable of 1/3 MOA accuracy or better is required to hit an egg at 600 yards. This gun was donated by Forum member DukeDuke. He demonstrated its egg-busting abilities in this video. DukeDuke’s rifle chambered in 6BRX is a 30deg 6BR Improved and loaded with DTAC-115gr bullets powered by Alliant Reloder 17. The eggs are placed on top poles 616 yards from the firing lines in the video. At the 38 second mark, Egg Hit is shown.
The video shows that DukeDuke was able to scramble those eggs at 616 yards. The range is located just outside of Lake Jackson in Texas. The gun is a Rem 700 SABDL, blueprinted, and bedded in a Rem/HS PrecisionPSS stock. The barrel measures 31 inches and is made by 1:8-twist Broughton. The barrel’s “P3” is for Porter’s Precision Products Lake Jackson, TX. Kenneth Porter built the rifle. The load was 33.5 grams of RL-17 at 2950 fps with 115gr DTAC rounds touching the lands. Cartridge OAL is 2.400′. Bob Crone developed the 6mm BRX. The BRX retains the 30deg shoulder of a parent 6mmBR case. It has a little less storage capacity than a 6mm Dasher. Bob explained to us that his original 6mm BRX design had a.100′ more head space than a 6mmBR Norma. He never changed from that. After Bob created the first 6mm BRX model, Bill Shehane developed a 6mm BRX version with a.120′ more head space. This caused some confusion. The original 6mm BRX was, and still is, a chambering with a headspace.100′ longer than a 6mm BR Norma. AR-X Enterprises LLC, www.6mmAR.com. Reamer Print
