Got a 6rem VS coming! Any 65-75gr loads?

[cath8r]

Hi guys. Trading my way into a rem700 varmint special in 6mm rem.
I'd like to use this gun for a 600 yard varmint gun. Ground hogs, crows and coyotes.
600 yards will be on the far end of what is possible where I hunt. I'd like to keep the bullets in the 65-75 gr range.
I've got varget, 4064 and imr 4350 on hand.
Any favorite loads?
Thanks
Rob

75gr v-max and imr4350 gets me 3560fps with great accuracy out of a 24" barrel. I load them .010" short of the lands. Powder charge depends on the lot of powder. Around 49 grains.

4350 will work, but if you find some N-160....load it up and shoot it hot. My 6 Rem and 6 AI's love it

50 some years ago I bought a used Rem 722 in .244. Killed 200+ groundhogs a year for many yrs with it till I shot it out. A stiff load of 4831 and 75 gr. Sierra HP with mag primers. The mag primers were required to get the accuracy out of this load. Pretty much all the powder I could get in the case. To count, all shots under 200 yd had to be offhand. The good old days.

I have for years now really liked RL19 with 75HP Sierra bullets. I have also over the years liked IMR4064 with the same bullet.

I had a 700 VLS 6 Rem that was a lazer beam with the 70 NBT and a hot load of 4064,,thats been over 10 years and cant remember the exact charge but it was 2-3 grs over the Nosler book max,,it would get up on 3700 fps in the summertime,,WW brass necks would split before the primer pockets got loose,,

always wanted to try a 8 twist 6 Rem.
