Who has a favorite fast and accurate 65-75 gr 6mm rem load?
No desire to save hides . I just want a great load for varminting. I have a fair amount of 4064, imr 4350 and varget. It be great if your loads uses those but not mandatory.
Thanks
Rob.

Have the same exact rifle. I use 60 and 70 gr Sierra HP Varminter bullets. The 60gr are very accurate with IMR3031 - 38.5 grains and the 70gr are just as good with IMR4064 and 41.5 grs.. Even with my old eyes the five shot groups are all touching in a less than 1/2 inch group. Bone stock rifle with a bit of work on the trigger. Love that gun.

I've got a 1963 700 Carbine that really likes 39.0 grns I3031 and the 75 grn Hornady HP's, Rem 9.5. The 75's are a hammer on deer.

My Rem 788 likes 42 gr A4064 under a 75 gr Vmax for about 3380 fps from its 22" barrel.

Thanks guys. I had a 700 carbine in 6mm rem but I found it ungodly unmanageable with the short barrel. Nifty rifle tho but it whalloped the [bleep] out of me! This varmint special is just right! Picked up some 75gr vmax a d gonna give some of these a whirl.

Thanks! This will be for a November 1990 manufacture varmint special I just acquired. It's accurate with factory 100gr corelocts. I’ve got that exact same rifle. Mine LOVES 55 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips with a max load of IMR 4064. Mine will shoot little tiny sub 1/2” groups with that load. I’ve killed a ton of Prairie Dogs and a couple of Antelope with that same load.

75 grain bullet IMR 4350 48 grains. First varmint load I used, none better
1/4” group 5 shot, repeatedly shot 1/4” or smaller with Sierra, Speer and Remington hollow points.
I prefer classic.
