About Us:
 
It is Precision Ballistic's mission to design and HAND-swage the most precise world-class 6mm custom bullets possible for the benchrest shooting community. Precision Ballistics LLC is a company manufacturing precision custom benchrest bullets. I have been shooting and reloading for over 25 years. My desire to manufacture precision bullets has now been realized by establishing this firm. Precision Ballistics LLC is a one person enterprise which allows me to have total control over the quality control of my products. I manufacture and QC each bullet one at a time by HAND.  I make them like I would want them made if I bought them. Please order in advance so you will have plenty for the whole season. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My name is Don Lahr, and my moniker on the shooting forums is "Bughole".  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like to shoot my 6mmBR at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. At 100 yards I shoot at a sheet of printer paper with 20 yellow 5/8" targets per page, which I make on my computer (example of one such target below). In case you're wondering why I didn't hit the center of the target in the picture, I adjust my windage and elevation just a little off of the 1/8" black center dot to allow me to maintain my point of aim (POA). In this case I want my point of aim and point of impact to be just a little bit different. Once you shoot away your POA it is harder to have a precise POI. Here is one where I put five bullets through the same hole,  which measured 0.292" at the widest. Subtract 0.243" for the diameter of the bullets shot, and you get a 0.049" group. You may be able to beat this one. Try my bullets and see what you can do with them!

Here is one of my Target VLDs on the left and one of my Hunting VLDs on the right. Both have a 15 tangent ogive and a 0.175"x10 degree rebated boat tail. They are the same bullets, but while the 0.056"  open meplat on my Hunting VLD opens better on fur, my Target VLDs go through an extra die to close the tip for a better ballistic coefficient. Tipping the meplat is mostly done for 600 yard and further shooting.

Company history:

 
Precision Ballistics LLC grew from my desire to have a more perfect bullet available for benchrest shooting. I have been a varmint hunter for decades, and enjoyed shooting at the 2008 VHA Jamboree, the 2009 Midwest Regional VHA Match, Eastern Regional VHA Match and the Western PA Long Range Groundhog Match. Varmint hunters require a high level of accuracy and precision as well as benchrest shooters, and your dead-on long-range shooting is now possible. It turns out my target bullets are also very "Fur-Friendly!" Whether you require light weight bullets for your 1:14" twist 6mm rifle, mid-weight bullets for your 1:12" or 1:10" twist 6mm rifle, or heavy bullets for your 1:8" twist or 1:7" twist 6mm rifle, Precision Ballistics LLC can provide the bullets you need. Be watching in the fall of 2009 when I plan to also produce a VLD design bullet in 90gr, 95gr, 103gr, 105gr and 108gr.
