Just brought home a 6mm Rem. 700VLS. Would like some ideas for reloading 75grain V-max bullets. I shoot prarie dogs!! What powders,primers,brass,etc., have worked out good for you? I know it's controversal,but I have had good luck with moly bullets with my 22-250 and .222 rem. I'm sure I'll get some opinions about that!!OH BOY!!!

  The following has worked fine for me......
  
  Using Remington Cases, CCI-200 Primers, and H-4831 powder, Sierra 75 gr. HP (#1510) bullets, keeping OAL at 2.84 inches:
  51.0 grains = 3510 fps. at muzzle
  49.0 grains = 3381 fps. at muzzle
  47.0 grains = 3211 fps. at muzzle
  
  You might want to start with the "lightest" load and go from there. The 51.0 gr. load is extremely accurate but is "MAXIMUM" and should be used carefully! Good Luck!

  you will get many different opinions on loads for this caliber. by the way, you have chosen an excellent caliber(i'm biased), my 6mm rem is like a third arm.
  anyway, it all boils down to reading the manuals and start reloading as many shells as possible in multiples of three. even if someone has the same weapon as you do, it will digest loads differently.
  my 6mm rem has a hart barrel and i must have reloaded 50- 75 different combinations b4 deciding. keep in mind the twist rate of your barrel in conjunction with bullet size. (very important.).
  my barrel shoots the mid-size 70-90 grain bullets extremely well(3/8 grouping at 225 yards). the larger 105-107 grainers throw a slightly larger group but is still moa. the rate of twist in my barrel is 1/12. when you are asking questions regarding reloading suggestions, it is always helpful to give the twist rate.
  king joey also has a nice 6mm rem. perhaps he can jump-in and offer his 2 cents.
