6br deer bullet

[Fast14riot]

Working on my new blacktail hunting gun in straight 6br. Would like to find an accurate hunting bullet somewhere around 90-100gr. Barrel is 24" 1:8 twist, so I'm good up to the 105 class bullets. Average shot will be inside of 300 yards and the deer are PNW coastal blacktail, 150lbs on the hoof is a large deer and 200 yards is a long shot.

Whats your favorite hunting bullet?

Can't go wrong with the Sierra 85 grain bthp Game King, totally devastating on deer and very accurate to boot!

Only problem is finding them…

Sierra's 85 gr. B.T.-H.P. Game King is one of the better/best deer hunting bullets there is for deer hunting in the 6mm Bench Rest.

Accuracy can be every bit as good as Bench Rest bullets!

yes to all of the above......

100 grain hornady SP.

Here’s another option.

If your 300 yards and in there’s a lot of good choices. Nosler Partitions are one of my favorites for that range, Sierra SBT game kings or TGKs, Hornady SSTs, Barnes TSX are all bullets I’ve used with good success on deer and antelope out of 6mms.

I have killed a pile of them with 68 Avengers at 3350 fps.

I shot 80 grain Hillbillies this year and got bang flops. I’ll be shooting 80 grain Dominators next year and thereafter.

87 or 95 Berger HUNTING bullets would be the ONLY thing I’d consider in the range you asked about. Life is just too short to shoot big groups, even with hunting rifles.

You can call Sierra and place a order, they may have some in stock now. If not when they start back running them you'll be contacted for your billing information. That's how I got mine.

You are absolutely correct Sir!

Berger 95 gr VLD is a very good bullet in a 6BR out to 400 yds or so. One and done on Mule deer for me.

Nosler 95 BT would be my choice

108 Berger is great for killing deer and antelope with 6br, bra, dasher sized case. Excellent performance on animals to 500 yards at around 2880fps.

95 Berger classic Hunter is easy to tune and should do a great job

108 Berger is great for killing deer and antelope with 6br, bra, dasher sized case. Excellent performance on animals to 500 yards at around 2880fps.

Getting to 2880 with a 24" barrel and 108s is gonna be tough on brass. I'm planning on running varget for this gun.

It's always been my opinion that at those distances and with those sizes deer... sierra, Speer, Hornady cup and core is all you will ever need to knock down a deer. Never had a problem with the traditional tech bullets.

No point in bonded, solids, shock tips, partitions or anything else. Save money and practice more, scout more, and cook more with your bounties

These Badlands 80gr Bulldozer-2's shoot great out of my 6x204 and the BC .420 isn't bad for a 80gr bullet. Minimum twist required is 1;10 so your 1:8 will be great, these mono"s love to be spun fast, it just increases their devastating performance. And they will scream out of a BR. I just had Shawn spine me up a dasher barrel for my Borden Mountaineer and this is what I'm going to run for antelope and Ca. deer. Some test loads in my 6x204 I was getting 3100+ fps, out of the BR and Dasher it will be crazy. The tipped Game Kings are pretty good if you can find them.

If you had a 1:7 twist I would go with the 100gr Super Bulldozer -2 with a of BC .600, I have a 6SST I am going to shoot these in. I also have a 1:7 CF Bartlien I am going to chamber for the Dasher for these, what a perfect combo.

I tested 105 Berger Hybrids hunting Roe Deer. Great accuracy.

In rifles, this 100 grain #1560 Spitzer Boat Tail bullet with a heavy, double-tapered jacket ensures adequate penetration with reliable expansion on medium game. It is the boat tail counterpart to the flatbase #1540 Pro-Hunter bullet, but when ranges exceed 300 yards, the #1560 bullet is the...
