80 gr nosler

[wolfbait]

Hi guys,just had a question if anyones tried the 80 gr nosler varmint bullets ,was just curiouse on what kind of velocities were possible to get from a 6mm rem and what was a good powder to use.Im getting good groups out of sierra 70 blitz bullets but i think maybe could do better from a little heavier bullet. I have a 1-9 twist bull barrel with a 1lb jeweled trigger .Thanks for any suggestions was using imr 4064 40.7 grs shooting a .375 5 shot group at 100 yds from a bullbag

With a bit slower burning powder like IMR-4350 you should be able to push those 80 gr. bullets between 3300 - nearly 3500 fps.. The 70 gr. can be pushed up near 3600 fps. with one of the slow burning powders.
