I hand load so I can fine tune the accuracy,but I’ve had good results with using Hornady bullets. I actually prefer the Nosler Accu-bond for a hunting load because you get great terminal performance and a better BC(Ballistic Co-efficient) and consistent shape with the polymer tips. For just target shooting or varmints the Ballistic Tips are fine,just too frangible for game hunting compared to Accu-Bonds or Partitions. I did shoot Barnes TSX, but they got too rich for me.
The Sierra Match King for target/varmint and the Game Kings for deer would be good options too.
Biggest thing is that your rifle will respond to a specific factory load differently than any other,so what works for me won’t always work for someone else. When I was shooting factory loads I was happy to get less than 2 inch groups of three at 100 yards, now I get five shots that I can cover with a quarter, and that is with 30 calibers.
You might have problems getting the right load because the 6mm is so poorly supported by ammo makers,as opposed to the 243. BUT,you might get lucky and find a great load combination first time. I do know Federal puts out good product,but again,the light Mag might not shoot as well as the standard. What is nice is that more factory ammo is being loaded with a better,near premium bullet for at least some applications. Hornady ammo actually load the 6mm with 95 grain SSTs,not a bad bullet.
As for scopes,Simmons isn’t even on my radar to look at–too many bad stories on quality issues and breakage. I look at getting Nikon and Leupold first,prices aren’t that much more for a Pro Staff or Rifleman / VX-I. I hear great things about the Nikko Sterling Night Eaters,but that is just hearsay,same with the Barska, but they are economical and worth looking at.

Falcon is right about the reloads. Get a Hornady or Speer Reloading manual for the tutorials on reloading/handloading of new brass. Now that loaded ammo is of chancy supply, a big bag of brass from http://www. midwayUSA. com/ or Http://www. grafs. com/ or their google competitors is probably shippable the same day, and is a lifetime supply for a very low wholesale price! Same with primers and bullets. Keep the primers inside a big glass jar. The very most accurate powder charge and type, and bullet and it’s seating depth, for any one particular rifle, can only be determined experimentally. Go for it! The Simmons scopes are not especially “known” for Magnum rifle reliability, but the 6mm is not a big kicker, so “lore” has it the choice is okay. I use a Simmons 4X handgun model and it seems okay so far, in that challenging motif, and it was not expensive. If low price equaled unreliability, it and my Bushnell scopes would all have exploded long ago. Regards, Larry.
I doubt the light magnum load will be the most accurate available load in your rifle but every rifle has it’s own personality. It will also cost more then the standard Hornady or the plain loadings from Remington and Winchester.
Reloading is going to be the most economical route. You will likely save a ton of money over the long term. It will also enable you to develop a load your rifle will really like.
I’ve heard the Simmons Master Series scopes are pretty decent for the money. However you can get much better scopes for only slightly more money. Check out the Nikon ProStaff & Buckmaster, the Bushnell Elite 3200 & 4200, the Burris Fullfield II and the Leupold VX-I IF you are really serious and have a decent rifle look at scopes for around $350+ such as Leupold VX-II, Burris Signature Series and Nikon Monarch. REALLY serious means Leupold VX-III or Mark 4 and well respected brands such as Nightforce, U. S. Optics, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski & Zeiss
