What's the twist? If 244, it may be slow.

I have a very sweet 6mm Remington that I built on a VZ-24 action.....it just happened to shoot 55 grain BTs into extremely fine groups and at 4,000 FPS and I kept it as a coyote dispenser.
As it turned out a friend bought his 10 year old son along with him and wanted to hunt deer and I lent him my 6 mm as I also had a bunch of Hornady interlocks in 100 grain BTSP.....however the youngster mixed up the ammo and shot four mule deer and whitetails with the 55 grainers.....four shots and four dead deer and at ranges to 350 yards.....all were instantaneous bang/flops.....When I discovered what was happening, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.....those varmint bullets were never meant for deer hunting, yet they did a magnificent job.
For next year I'm going to load 80 grain TTSXs to see how they work......but after seeing the 55 grainers work, I'm now thinking that absolutely anything at that velocity is a deer killing marvel.....
be your own judge.
BTW: the powder used was H-414

I can't be of much help here. My loads all use H 450 which is no longer available. When I read of it being discontinued, I bought every can I could find.
I use 75 HP for coyotes and other vermin and 100 RSPCL (old stock) and 100 HSP for deer.
** From memory 43-45 grs of IMR 4350, or H 4350 now, and 100 grainers does well.
Good Luck

The 6mm I gave to my Great Nephews shot 100 and 105gr bullets really well with 43.5grs of IMR-4350.I think that load was pushing them a bit more than 3000fps.

There you go, IMR 4350 and 100 gr pills (If it's not a 244)

My wife and I have been using .243 Winchesters for deer and antelope for a few years now. We,ve been using 100 grain Hornady Interlocks and while that bullet kills just fine, in many cases it stays inside the chest cavity and doesn't exit. Because of this, it doesn't leave much of a blood trail. We've switched to 95 grain Nosler Partitions and hopefully now we'll get the complete pass through we're looking for.

Hornady must have made some changes to the 100 hsp. 'WHEN" I used them I never caught one. The only reason I changed was Midway sold bulk Rem PSPCL much cheaper -*-*-> those older CL were tougher than Hornady. Jerry

My 6mm is a fast twist but with previous rifles, I shot 95 grain NBT and 100 grain Hornady Interlocks over H414.

We have had good results in the 6mm Rem. using IMR4350 or H380 (different rifles) w/ 90 gr. Accubonds and also IMR4350 with the 95 gr. Partition.

I no longer have my .244 or .243. IIRC, RL-17 showed some good numbers in those rounds.
With the new StaBALL now out, I'd try that one as it's pretty close to 4350 burn rate. Hybrid 100V is the velocity champ in the .257R, although not the most temp stable. Not sure how it'd do in .243/244 rounds.
New powders can to some good things in old rounds.

Mine likes:
H-100V under a 95 NBT @ 3216. RE-19 under a 100 Hornady @ 3200.
Shot one deer with the Hornady.
Shot a bunch of deer and 4 antelope with the NBT.
Both shoot really good, I just prefer the NBT.

I haven't had a 6mm Rem. for a while now, but have owned at least three, and fooled with a couple others.
As several others have already noted, Reloder 19 works well in the 6mm. If that doesn't work with a particular bullet, IMR4350 and H4350 would sure be worth a try--and IMR4451 might work even better! I've had VERY good luck with it in several 4350-type applications.

Have you ever used Winchester 760 in the 6mm Remington? My Ruger No. 1B likes it with 95gr Partitions.
