I currently have 3 6-6.8's. 2 of them love 70 grain Sierra's over 30.6grains of 8208. My third, not so much. It likes basically the same load but with 58 grain Hornadys. Would really like one load for all three.
 
30.6 grains of 8208 with 58 grain Hornadys. 31.6 is pretty good too. Just tried these the other day with my suppressor and they were excellent.
 
Mine likes the 58gr VMAX over 31.5 of 8208 although I have never shot anything else in it because it work so good. It's going on a PD trip this summer can't wait for the splatter. Lol
 
R15 Predator do you have my old 24" Blackhole 6x6.8 that's paint green camo?

My 22" is liking 31.5gr of 8208 and 58vmax . I'm getting ready to work a load for the 80gr ttsx and would like to see if anyone had a load for it as well.

We need a sticky for 6x6.8 loads
 
Yes I do have that gun. Reconfigured a bit but it is a shooter. Loves the 70 grain sierras. Be awesome to have a new forum for the 6-6.8 and put the load sticky at the top of that. Sure are a bunch on here that shoot them.

80g tsx/ttsx
28g x8208, 2.260" col = 2861 fps, 22" bhw bbl

Varmint pro, blc2, w748, h335, x8208 is good for 55-95g bullets, done it all in my tests before just settling on the 55g bullet for varmints and 90g/95g NHBT bullets for antelope/deer

Blackhole has some info on their forum but this forum has much larger groups of 6x6.8 shooter
 
29.8 varget 87 g Berger vlds 2.295 fc brass cci450 primers at about 2900fps shot about a .380" at 100 yards. 22" bull barrel. Don't know how varget will work with the lighter bullets but it worked good for these bullets.

Yep and it even has the two guys that did all the development work on it. Not that those guys don't share through PM's on average of once a week.

Grrg

90g NHBT, 29g x8208 = 3105 fps, .621" @ 100 yds in my bolt build, 22" bbl.
95g NHBT, 29g x8208 = 3037 fps, .337" to .847" @ 100 yds in the same build.
Those are my go to antelope/deer loads.
Sons 515 yard shot last season on his 1st antelope, 90g NHBT dropped on the spot, complete pass through.
Mine was a 168 yard shot, dropped on the spot, same load.
