[maddysdad]

given bullets of 60 to 75 grain how fast are your loads for groundhog hunting ?

I assume barrels are about 24 to 26 inches long.

The 6mmBR section in articles lists a bunch of various loads that are safe and in the chart they provide velocities.

FWIW i get about 3300 with an 8TW barrel, 27 inches, lapua case, 70 grain BK and some IMR8208, with fed match primer
