Use a game bullet, faster.
Accubond fine bullet, but unnecessary, and probably very hard, for red deer.
85 GameKing, 90 TGK, or 95 Silvertip, max Varget.
6BR does fine on full-size deer, within reasonable range.
That TGK is at most a 3/8 Minute bullet, by the way. Maybe way less.

These 100gr MONO's look like they would be a stellar choice also!
What velocity you getting?

2950. I could run it hotter but I don’t need to.

3090 with a 26” barrel over the Garmin. I don’t know if I could get that out of my long barrel f class rifles. Shot a group and looked at the velocity and shot another to make sure I hadn’t lost my mind.
Yea that is smoking fast, my 26” bra isn’t shooting 105 hybrids that fast I’d say you are close to dasher speed
That’s why I didn’t post the velocity. I figured I’d get told I was lying or I was reloading dangerously. It shoots that one particular bullet extremely fast with no pressure. All 4 of my br f class rifles shoots 105 vld Bergers between 2820-2880. This same gun pressured out at 2840 with berger 105 vld hunting bullets. The 88 grain Berger fb varmit bullets won’t even shoot that speed before I get pressure. The 90g sierra tgk shoots extremely fast and I don’t understand the reason. But I’ve loaded 20 pieces of brass 7 times and no loose pockets or abnormal web stretching. And it shoots dots. I don’t know about the bore size it’s a @urbanrifleman prefit that I was going to use for a kid shooting competitions with me but put it in a chassis and started seeing if it would make a decent deer catcher.
Don’t matter what anyone else says, guns shoot how they shoot. I have some of those bullets, maybe I need to mess with them more. I hunt deer and coyotes with a 9 twist and tried them but it’s on a howa mini so the longer bullets can fill the magazine up quick.

Yup. The BR doesn't make them disappear into a ball of sparks, but this liver looked really bad. The shot side lung was bad, but the liver was an absolute wreck. The main hole alone is big enough for a baseball to fit.
2,890, 78 yards quartered slightly to, bullet core and jacket made a clean exit after 20? inches of travel and two ribs. Probably 175 lb doe.
Sorry for the blurry looking photo... steam.
