Berger 6mm 115gr VLD Hunter

[wilkup]

Is there anyone out there with knowledge of this bullet's terminal performance on game? I'm hoping to use this bullet in my new rifle build. Crossing my fingers for an accuracy node around 3450'. Should have plenty of thump for deer as far as I plan to shoot.
Any information would be wonderful.

Tagging in. I'd also like to know. What are you shooting the 115 out of?

I can't say at this point, but it's gonna be a sweet shooting round

I'd also be interested to know with a velocity of 3450

I'll throw out a guess. Maybe a 6-284. My 22-284 shoots 80 gr bergers at 3600 fps.

80s at 3600 is really carrying the mail

You're gonna want one, I promise!

Gonna be running a 23" barrel to get my speeds, and hopefully not too hot either.

Had a sporter 6mm-284 with a 24" barrel.
95 gr berger Classic hybrid hunter with 54 gr of RL-17 yielded 3433 fps.

Had a 1 in 7.5 twist 6mm-284 with a 30" barrel. Top velocity with 105 Berger was 3484 fps using RL-33


Wondering what cartridge could get a velocity of 3450 fps with a 115 and a 23" barrel? 6mm/7 SAUM or maybe a 6mm/300 WSM?

I think I know... 115s moving that fast would be a scary deer rifle

Not sure I will if I have to change barrels every 800 rounds

800 rounds in a hunting rifle is a long time

800 rounds in a hunting rifle is a long time

Problem is I just can't leave my hunting rifles alone....... I still like to take them out!

If I'm being honest with myself, I also have that problem and this barrel will be lucky to last 4 years lol
