    Your barrel must be an ex 6mmPPC target barrel with that twist rate. Check out the range of weights for 6mmPPC bullets on the internet. The classic weights for that twist are around 68-75gr. I've killed goats with Sierra 75gr bullets (from a 243), quite dead on the spot. Shorter 80gr bullets (flat base, soft point) may be accurate.
