I have a 6mm-284 with a 1 - 12" twist rate I need help figuring out what bullet weight or bullet would work best for predator hunting?

Thanks

87 grain V-Max!


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

Moki-if trying to be fur friendly go with the 55 NBT, if you don't care about the pelts then try the 70 NBT or the 75 Vmax.

I've used my 6/06 a lot for yotes so I kind of have an idea as to how to go about it.

I have now tried 70gr Nosler BT's with IMR 4350 powder and get an average of 3600fps from my 21" barrel.

I switched too CCI BR-2 LR bench rest primers and had my groups shrink to the best I have ever had since I rechambered the rifle.

I still need to do a bit more work but as of right now I am finally extremely happy with the results I am getting with this rifle/cartridge combo.

Thanks
MK
