[maddysdad]

got a 6 mm ppc again.was going to shoot groundhogs.has a 1/14 22 inch barrel.what are you shooting in your rifles for hog hunting.

I am assuming this is a retired bench gun,and I bet it will still shoot well with any of the lighter bullets.
I would certainly try the 58 and 65 grain V-Max bullets,some of the benchrest bullets will work in a pinch.It can be tough to find components now so see what you can find and have fun,head shots will do the trick.

55gr NBT, 60gr Sierra HP, 58gr V-Max

55gr NBT, 60gr Sierra HP, 58gr V-Max

Yes, this is the answer.
But, if you want gold plated dead, take a Cheek bullet and lop off the end a tiny bit, making a HP. They blow up big time.

I have a 6BR. The Sierra 60 gr Varminter is as accurate as any match bulet I have shot.

+ 1 on the 60 gr. Sierra Varminter. So far, one of the tightest groups fired from my 6mmBR 1 - 14 was with this bullet.

60g sierra, H322, T32 is very, very simple to tune, great on chucks, rabbits, and coyotes

58g v max, 55g sierra blitz kings, and 65g V max are all very good!

You will find one of these bullets in which the barrel just shocks you with the accuracy.

With AA2230, mag primer, all of these bullets may give you tiny groups with 300 round shot strings.

First time I ever shot 58 vmax out of a 13.5 twist 6ppc I almost considered giving my custom bullets away.

60 gr Sierra Varmiter. Rem 700 Krieger 14 TW 6 BR barrel. The most accurate bullet I ever shot. First day out with the 60 gr. Shot a group under .25 and one under about .200" no flags. Don't claim to be a good shooter.
Added later: 33.3 gr of 8208 about 5-10 thou jump.

Now I know where all the Sierra 60 grain bullets are!

 

[searcher]

Those 58 V-Max and 55 Blitz Kings are tough to beat. They always shot best for me with the military surplus powder - though Accurate LT32 was runner-up.

 

[maddysdad]

i have N133 powder.what would be starting loads with the any of the v max bullets .

 

[X Count]

55 SBK and 60gr sierra hollow point. Both just as accurate in my gun and the 55 SBK is extremely fragile if your shooting small critters.

 

[ken158]

70 gr sierra BK over 26 - 27 grains of H322 with a F205M primer. This is with a Sako single shot varmint / target gun.

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Never been but would like to try my 30 Major AR15 on hogs from a chopper. That just sounds too fun to me.

@maddysdad
In my Sako 6mm PPC the Barnes 58 gr V-Tor with V-133 just shoots lights out. Very accurate inexpensive bullet . They work great on g-hogs.

Well, these USED to be a secret, hahaha. I read where someone from Sierra was quoted saying that this bullet was THE most accurate bullet made by Sierra ever
