I'm shooting the VG's in my 6BR with good results. My rig is a Rem 600 Mohawk,trued, 8 twist 27' Lilja, no-turn neck. Lapua brass, Rem. 7 1/2's, 32.5 grains of H335, Barnes 62gr VG's jumped .005. These are running 3550fps and group in the .3's. Not a target load but they do a number on sage rats and rock chucks.
I just got back from Idaho where the 6BR made short work of the chucks on my buddy's place, most of the shots where from 250-350 yards with the longest being in the 500yd range. The chuck I shot at 500yd the VG's preformed great first shot was 1' low and the 2nd,with a little more hold over) thumped him in the chest and sent him off the reef.
I was pleasantly surprised how well the VG's performed on the chucks. I had loaded some 107's SMK's just in case but with the conditions being calm I had no need change from the VG's.
Start low and work up to the above load.
Good luck and good shooting to you.
