taracer,

start at 31.0 gr VV N135 and 68 gr Breger's for match, and 70 gr Sierria Blitzkings for hunting.

You're not shooting a top secret cartridge.

H-322 or VV-133 with 70 grainers and under work perfect in mine.

With 21" 1 in 14" twist 6mmPPC take off barrel converted to 6mmBR experiment:

75 gr Vmax [.935" long bullet] at 3000 fps will stabilize out to 50y, but not to 100y.

65 gr Vmax [.831" long bullet] at 3000 fps will stabilize out to 100y just fine.


Both bullets were with 33.5 gr W748, all that will fit.

58 v-maxes over a 29.5g of H322 has shot lights out for me. Also had good results with H335.

68 gr Barts Ultra with 31 gr of Varget has worked great for me

I have a 1:14 twist shilen 6mmBR that LOVES the 75g Vmax. I know it seems counterintuitive however it shoots them pretty well. I am driving them with 32.0g Varget, Lapua brass and CCIBR4's. It'll keep em' in the .3's all day at 100. I have killed my fair share of groundhogs with this combo. The bullets give comparable performance to a chainsaw. I have shot this load to nearly 700 yards with a few "good" groups in the 2" range at 600 yards. I am getting consistent 3175fps out of them.

Rifle is a M700 short action trued blueprinted in a H.S. precision stock.

I think as with most things, you won't know until you try it. Give the 75's a shot and see if they will stabilize. You will likely need to drive them near max though. I think they are the perfect compromise between velocity and B.C. for the 6BR case for varmint bullets.
