I'm building a 6BR on a Stevens action primarily for GHogs out to 300-500 yards. I was leaning towards something a bit heavier like the 105gr V-Max to buck the elements but I have read some very good results with the 75 and 80gr bullets.
Anyone have any recommendations or success stories?
Thanks in advance for your response
95 fb bibs great to 600yds
I am in the middle of some test right now preparing for a prairie dog hunt in Kansas. I have had very good luck with the Hornady Vmax 75 gr. with 27.5 gr H322 powder, I am shooting an F Class 6mm BR 1-8 twist. I also am planning on loading some 105 AMax with 28.3 grains of Re15 seated to the lands not jammed. Works best for me. Good luck

I shot this one at 523 yards with a 6BR and a 75 grain Vmax. I've also shot many at around 400 yards and the 75 grain Vmax works very well.

My 12 twist 6BR doesn't know the difference between a Nosler 70 BT
or a Sierra 70 BK.......the 75 V max is also very accurate & deadly...
p/dogs are my game out to 600+ with the 6BR......
I take it you are going with an 8 twist, otherwise you wouldnt mention the 105's. I shoot 87gr Vmax w/ 30.3-30.5gr of Varget out of mine, and have killed prarie dogs out to 875yds with it. Shot alot in the 500-600 yard range with varying wind conditions, and inside of 400 yards it was not even a challenge. It is a great mid weight bullet for the 6mm's.
Oh, they group really well also. So well I sold the 550pcs of 105amax I had for it.
