SCOTT78 · 05-04-2006, 01:26 PM

I just got a remington 700 vls in 6mm and i was looking for some possible loads for it for target and varmint then maybe something for deer also.
thanks

80 gr seirra over 44.5 gr of H380 works in mine. Reduce load by 10% and work up slowly. Best of luck

I have the same rifle, and my load is a 85 grain sierra gameking over 39 grains hodgdon varget powder. I recommend reducing the load by 10% and working it up because several variables primer, case, COL etc may be different then my finished load. good luck

Thanks for the info. guys. I picked up a box of remington 100gr at the store when i bought the gun just to use to start to break it in. I am getting a reloading kit next month for my birthday or sooner if i can talk her into it! What would be a good brand of brass to use for the 6mm

thanks

work up a max load for your rifle with a hornady 87 gr hp's and IMR 4831, has shot well in every 6mm I've tried it in.

remington brass would be fine, but winchester would be better
