I am shooting Sierra game king 100 grain spire points with 27.6 of VV140, .005 ITL, Lapua brass & 450s in a Hart 1-8. Shooting about 3/8 off of bags @ 100. Plenty for MOA of deer.

Those shooting highly accurate 6mm for deer. I recommend you address an issue not discussed on this thread. Bullet performance. Almost all of the bullets discussed so far have J4 jackets and are unreliable over the long haul for successful game recovery. Yes, the deer die but some run off to be never found because of no blood trail. The Swift Scirocco 90 grain bullet, Barnes 85 grain XXX, Nosler Accubond 90 grain and Nosler Partitions all will shoot great in the smaller 6mm cases and give you a better chance of game recovery. A brain shot is a brain shot, a neck shot below the ear is a neck shot below the ear it does not matter what bullet you shoot. But a shoulder or heart lung shot is a whole other story. Controlled expansion bullets tend to make both entry and exit holes. Bullets work on four different methods to kill: hyrostatic shock, hemoragenic shock, physiogentic shock, and psycogenic shock. Trailing a wounded deer is much easier with a good blood trail. Fast expanding bullet may drop a deer in it's tracks or it may send them to the races. Internal bleeding does not help with the trailing of a deer. Beleive me I have shot my share of deer.

Last time I was in northern MO, I never saw farther than 200 yards.

I'm an accuracy Nut too, but I'd pick a medium load from the Sierra manual and load up a 100 gameking. If after sight in I could hit a dinner plate at 200 yards,
I'd consider myself overly prepared for a deer hunt in northern MO.

Of course, I'd go ahead and make sure I could hit a tobacco can too. There are some nice varmints over there!

But there's no need to shoot in the 1s on a deer hunt.

Take your pick Ive used 105 -MAX, 107 smk, 85 sgk, 100 sgk and 95 NBT's all work fine. If you don't feel comfortable with a "match" bullet the last three work fine and the 95 NBT thinks it's a match bullet, the accuracy was beyond good and performance was very good.

The pic is an on side and exit from a 6BR at 2x's + the distance If you have to go long know your set up. I only shoot long on open fields with the 6BR

I'm with Nat ,30 years of shooting Nosler partitions have convinced me.
