6br for red deer hind?

[marchx]

I am tempted to try it later on this month.
105gr barts infinity, 2830fps. Distance 100-200m. What do you say?

6 BR = OK
Shoot 95 gr Accubonds

 

[natdscott]

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.

Why not 105s? Like hybrids? Infinity is just like hybrid by design.

Been hunting whitetail with a 6bra for years, using 90 eldx currently

I just set up a dasher / 105 VLD
Should be a whoop ass deer or antelope cartridge out to whatever I need.
I tuned powder and seating at 1000 yards and confirmed the load at 546 yards.

90 grain Sierra Tipped Game King and a case full of N150 is good for unaliving whitetails for me. I couldn’t believe the velocity I was getting too. I’m loving mine.

These 100gr MONO's look like they would be a stellar choice also!

I’ve shot about 600 animals with Bart’s bullets. Never used the Infinity but if it’s the same jacket thickness as his others, it’ll work great.

 

[JFrank]

What velocity you getting?

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

 

[Hoekight]

What velocity you getting?

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.
