I see a pile of data on here with the 90+gr bullets for 6GT loads… but Does anyone shoot the lighter bullets in their 6gt for varmints/coyotes? Please share some info of you’re willing

My gun will be 20” and 1:8

I run 58gr V-Max for prairie poddle hunting. My powder is MP540 a stick surplus powder from American reloading. Not sure if it’s available anymore. 34grs get me 3400fps and a lot of dead puddles.
