6mm 75gr Hornady HP Pelt Damage shot out of 6x45

[dakor]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone is using the 6mm 75gr Hornady Hp on Coyotes and Fox with a 6x45 and what the pelt damage is like? I have a bunch of these bullets and found a load that shoots well in my 6x45 with them going 2955 fps. I am looking for a fur friendly bullet.

I will load a few for my 6x45mm and give them a try. I have been using Sierra #1515 80grn Varminter bullets with 8208XBR powder and have killed a dozen or so coyotes with no exit holes. I'm willing to give the 75grn HP Hornady's a try as soon as Michigan deer seasons end.

Thanks. I am hoping to find out tomorrow how they work if I can get a yote to come in to the call. So the Sierra 80gr has been working well for you? I might have to pick some of those up and try them.

I shot a plump standing woodchuck this summer with a 75 V-Max out of a 6mm-250 with no exit.
