6 BR, the ultimate groundhog killer
« on: January 10, 2004, 02:43:20 PM »
I grew up in WVa shooting groundhogs.  First with a .22lr, then .223,    .22-250, .243 etc.  I finally found the ultimate long range small game rifle in the 6mm BR.  I had a .265 neck, Hart barreled, blue printed Rem 700 action 6BR built and it is awesome accurate.  I regularly practice at 500 yards and have taken the time to make click charts.  I killed a coyote this year at 450 yards and hit it where I aimed- behind the left ear.  I have killed groundhogs with it out to 600 yards.  The gun will shoot .2 inch groups or less every time.  The magic recipe is 70 gr Nosler ballistic tips on 34 gr varget.  It's not me, it's the gun.  Any other 6BR lovers out there?

No 6 BR here, but I am new to the 7 BR.  Do you know of any loads using varget in that one.  I am still working up loads.  Would like to use the 120 grain ballistic tip for whitetail hunting.  Mine is an 11" custom pistol barrel.
