it might stabilize. if it does you'll love it

if it won't - go with the 65 vmax

Should stabilize. Put a little heat behind them with VV-N133. LOL. My builder was taking out critters with that 65 gr. V-max. @ 500 yds. with his Ruger # 1. 6PPC.

Does Sierra still make the little 60 gr. HP? I never used them for what ya could call long range, but I vaporized a truck load of chucks with them out to 300ish yards. Also a few coyotes with no exit.

My most accurate load with them was the hottest in the old Speer #8 book, which was for Speer's 75 gr. HP. I figured it would be safe, but I ruined the primer pockets on twenty or thirty cases. jd

The Blitz if IRC is a thin skinned soft point varmint bullet. I would expect it to stabalize just fine. I used the 22 cal versions in 222 14 twist barrel

Are you talking about the the 70 grain Blitz King? Great little bullet, but if it won’t stabilize that one then try the 75 grain flat base HP, it’s a varmint bullet.

The SPEER #14 Manual Page 239 talks about using their 70 grain TNT bullets. I have a 6mm PPC with an sporter barrel and shoot the 6mm 70 grain TNT's in it with H322 powder. I'm really happy how it shoots.

I like the 70 gr TNTs too.

I've used 70 gr. Nos. BTs for many years taking hundreds of groundhogs with my 6mmAI Encore handgun. They are very violent on groundhogs. Killed them out to 400 yds. without problems.

Far as I know that Sierra 60 HP is still made. I bought a bunch of them not too long ago. And they're unbelievably accurate
