I can't say for certain, but it should be okay. I'm shooting the 70gr BT out of a 1-10 twist at over 3400fps from a 22" barrel
Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

Josebd,

The 1 in 9 twist is standard for the 6mm Remington and I have heard of no problems with lighter bullets with it. I would bet it will be fine.

Hodgdon, Lyman, Speer, Sierra, Hornady = reliable resources
so and so's pages on the internet = not reliable resources
Alway check loads you find on the internet against manuals.
NEVER exceed maximum listed loads.
