Lightest bullets for PD, 1-8 twist 6BR?

My Savage LRPV likes the 65gr VMAX with 8208XBR in Lapua brass with Wolf magnum primers. Seated about .005 in the lands, I'm getting a consistent .5moa. I have used the 65 VMAX's in my 243 previously, and they are absolutely devastating on dogs at any velocity over 3000 fps.

I have a Pac Nor barrel on my 6 BR Savage and it has a 8 twist. I shoot the 58vmax out to 400 yards then switch to the 75g and then the 105 Amax as range gets further. There is not much of the 58g in the case, but it shoots well.

I've got an 8 twist Lilja on mine and anything with the letters VMAX behind it seems to shoot well. My primary loads are 65 VMAX for short range and 105 AMAX for the long shots.
 
i have a 1-8 pacnor

55g noslers & 105 amax both shoot little bug holes!

i can get the little 55s to nigh on 3800 best acuracy is around 3720 tho

cheers Andy
