6 MM Remington, 95 BT?

[Guest]

Hello all;
I seem to remember a few mentioning they loaded this bullet in the 6mm Remington.
I just picked up a couple boxes at Cabela's along with some additonal powders. The VLDs I have loaded are close to what I want but I am not super pleased with them and thought the BT might be just the ticket.
Anyone have a pet load they would be willing to share? Maybe a good starting point. I've been stuffing RL19 for the VLDs.
Shooting with an old 788 that I have had what seems like forever. Figured I'd dust it off this year and take my first centerfire rifle back out for some fun. Its been feeling unloved in the safe and deserves better treatment than that from me. :grin:

I think RL19 would work fine.. Should be a screamer...

Wow. Thanks.
Those both look great.
Have to admit, I have become a big RL fan. Just seems that where it fits it really fits well, if that makes sense?
Thank you both!

Trust me Dewey. It's about all I use nowadays. Kinda sour I can't find what I need right now, but the Alliant Powders work really well for me.

Have been using RL-22 and the 95 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip for some years now. The 6mm Rem does real well with that. Good accuracy, good velocity.

Performance on mule deer has been excellent.

Thanks Guy.
Sounds like the right recipe .

Alliant powders are what I use the most of. I sure hope some starts showing up because I`m running REALLY low on R22 and I am running it in 3 of my guns.
