That sound cool .i bought one less than a week ago and i have reload some to try it out .
I have rem brass and win primers with the h335 powder and 110 vmax bullets.
I loaded 5 with 27grains and 5 all the way up to 29.5 grains , so i should find the best reload this way .Saturday i should know what load makes the best group

Hello guys, Im planning to shoot 3 rounds of the 27gain and then clean the gun and then shoot the 27.5 gr and so on .with enough time in between each group for the barel to cool down.I think this way I should get a better tell tell result

What chamber and twist rate is Ruger using? I almost bought one of these, still might, but the lack of high cap mags kept me from going for it then. I have heard that the newer Mini's are much more accurate than the older ones. My old .223 Mini use to be horrible for grouping 4"-5" 5 shots with match ammo at 100yrds especially after the barrel heated up. Pleasae post some pics of your range work.

Hello The mini 14 6.8 is 1-10 twist. I know what u mean by the mini 14 223 barrel heating up.I have one that was made in 84 and after 10 shoots in a role the thing is so hot u dont want to toughch it.I have found adding that bar under the mini 14 223 barrel helps on the grouping.

here is my mini 223

and heres what my mini 14 6.8 looks like

well i just got back from the range. The h335 just did not do it for me . the 28.5grain was the only ones that was workable with 3 shot at 100 yards the size of a silver dollar. I should have listen to what every one said so now ill try the h322

Hey guys. I just bought a new Ruger mini 14 in 6.8 SPC. I took it to the range today shooting Hornady 6.8MM SPC 110 GR BTHP/WC. I put a NEW Bushnell Elite 3200 series scope on the gun. I was shooting 100 yards over a bench. I would shoot one round and it hit pretty much where I expected. The next round would hit 6" low. The next would be 6" somewhere else.. BTW the wind was calm. Any ideas? I shoot all the time just in case someone asks. I have a Bushmaster in 450 Busmaster caliber that I can shoot three rounds that touch at 100 yards and I shoot a Remington 700 Alaskan TI in 270 WSM that makes one three shot hole at 100 yards. So, I need some help with this Ruger.

Its those bullets , reload u some with sierra 90 grain bullets and h322 powder, my mini 6.8 loves them , and they work great for deer also ,I had the chance to use them last week end and it will leave a great hole

Those minis seem to like the 90grain bullets over the heavier bullets,
but the scope mounts are bad to loosen up on those minis , or at lease mine is anyway
