I've got a buddy who I have set up with a cardboard box full of loose 95NBT hand loads. He has been using them exclusively on his family farm for everything from crop damage deer to ground hogs. He wants a batch of "juicers" to cut ground hogs in half. What bullets do you guys like, assuming 243 win velocities.

I've got a good selection of appropriate powders.

I used a bunch of the 70gr TNT for what you describe; they worked very well and were pretty accurate. They don't have a sexy high b.c. value, but are good shooters.

Well 42.5 grains of 4064, and a 75 grain HP, from Speer or Sierra..

will certainly give one a split personality pretty darn quick...

58 gr Vmax

70 or 80 grain Ballistic Tip would be my choice.

Any of the 75 HP bullets would be dandy as well assuming you can find them. An 87 grain V-Max might be spectacular as well, any of the lighter V-Maxs may just get inside and blow up, no exit at all so no nice explosions!!

A Sierra Blitz Varminter in 80 grain form would be good too.

I have been using 55 grain BT's, and 58 grain Vmax over Varget. The Vmax seems to be more destructive, than the BT, the BT is a little faster (4,000 FPS). I have taken coyotes out to 300 yards with the Vmax, it flattens them. Both have been very accurate.

I've bought a fair number of those from Nosler's Shooters Pro Shop...

You should like those quite a bit...

accurate on top of being "deadly"....

It sure messes up rock chucks...the western version of ground hogs.
Tell him to check out Shootersproshop. Good odd there will be some great 6mm bullets for cheap listed there.
