6mm varmint bullet selection

[Savageseven]

hi guys i have a bullet question here. i have a 6mm creed with a 1-8 twist and im looking for a varmint type of bullet that will blow big hole in coyotes, rock chucks, ground hogs, what would you recommend that will stabilize in a 1-8 twist with extreame speed and stay together. nosler 70 grain ballistic tips are out the question as their always out of stock. will a 6mm 55 grain ballistic tip stay together in a 1-8 twist ?? or do you think to many RPMS ??

I’d read about good results on prairie dogs with the 87gr Vmax. I have some but no test data yet.

85 grain Sierra Game King boat tails dont allow them coyotes to wander very far.
6MM International, 29 Grns H4895, 8" twist. This is my light recoil chicken, pig, and turkey load for NRA Rifle Silhouette. Not going extremely fast, but Mr Coyote dont know that.

I use the 90gr in my 6.8 and the 55s in a 223 sometimes and they’re devastating

The 75vmax works well also.

70 gr TNT, economical and work well.

I hear you on the 70 gr BTs. I have a couple hundred here I am rationing out. Use those in a 6 TCU for shooting wood chucks & yotes.

I have an 8 twist 6x47. I have yet to run light bullets in it, I have a bunch of 55 gr BTs I should to see if they hold up.

Not necessarily in this order.
1. 70 NBT
2. 70 NBT
3. 70 NBT
Sorry, but I would hunt them down, in a 6-284 they rocked!
