For target or hunting? I am currently shooting Barnes 112gr Match Burners in factory ammo but I will likely stick to this bullet when I start loading for it one my stash of factory is used up. That said is it a target only bullet and I would not use it for hunting most things. It has impressively unimpressive terminal effects.
ETA: Complete ignore the above. My reading comprehension is off today. I read 6mm Creedmoor not 6mm Remington. Most 6mm Remington do not have a fast enough twist rate to stabilize the 112gr Match Burners. I am shooting them in a 6mm Creedmoor with a 1: 7.5 twist and they work well. Sorry.

What twist rate is your barrel?
I have a 6 mm AI built on a Remington 243 barrel that is a 1 in 9. It shoots 100 gr bullets at 3,300 fps with a case full of Re22. Never tried anything heavier. It’s a sub inch rifle built on a 1942 Oberndorf build 98 Mauser. 7828, VV N-165, and H 4831also worked pretty well but Re22 was the best in my rifle.
