The 6mm 90 gr AB has a BC of .376. Should be a great bullet for the 6mm Remington.

I got a chance to work on loads this weekend some more. I got some pretty erratic results with the scirocco after further testing. Groups ranged from 1/2 to 1 1/2" with the same loads. It showed a tendancy to throw the first shot high right with this bullet and then group the rest better. I tried some 75,85, and 90 gr bullets, Hornady's and ballistic tips that I had on hand with good results around 3/4 to 1" but nothing spectacular. I then tried the 100gr Sierra gamekings that I had on hand and groups shrank instantly. I experimented a little and ended up using a max load of Hodgdon's H100V to push them at an average of 3096fps. After getting a good 3 shot group with that powder I loaded 7 and shot them letting the gun sit for 30 minutes between shots to give an accurate 1st shot cold barrel group. They went in .465" so I am going to go with that for now. I will still have to try the 90gr AccuBond when I can get some, but the Sierra is an economical bullet that will drop any coyote, and shouldn't wreck a bobcat any worse than any other 6mm load.
