6mm-06 & 115 Berger hunting vlds

[Djfergus]

I've been trying 115 hunting vids in a 6mm-06 28" benchmark Palma barrel. I've tried n165, n170 h1000, ramshot magnum, ramshot lrt, and h4831sc. All I can manage to get is right at 3100fps. Which is fine but I can push 105 hybrids & 110 atips to around 3300fps. My question this: is it unusual for 115 hunting vlds to be 200 fps slower than 105s & 110s in the same gun & cartridge?

N560, RL 26, or Superformance would be better powder choices for more velocity.

what has been your most accurate powder?

H1000

H1000

I have read very good things about h1000.

 

[.222 ND]

I’m interested in any new developments.

Game animals or targets will never know the difference. If it shoots good, run it.

Might try,. the 108 grain, Berger, Elite Hunters, as Greater Speed and Lots of, Confirmed "Awesome" Kills,..
by everyone that has,.. Used them.
My grandson has used, the 87 H-VLD's on 2, very large bodied Mulies @ 3,200 FPS and BOTH,. DRT from, a .243 Win.,.. And, the 108 gr. Elite's,. ARE,. even, Better ! ( 7.5 or, 8 Twists, Needed ).

IF I may ask ( Disclaimer of course) how many grains of powder.? Under the 115 s

Thanks

Are you, or do you know of anyone using H 1000 in a 6 mm shooting 115 grain bullet. Is so what velocity are they getting.

Seems no one knows what grains of powder they are using under the 115s to get 3100 fps.

Thank you.

No, I don't. the guy I learned about it from swears by it in a 6.5 Swede, loaded to the brim.

 

[Retired shooter]

Seems to me a very slow burning powder for 6mm or 6.5 anything.
Just my thought

Thank you!
