I think all 80 grainers would be fine and maybe some 90's too.

Hornady has a lot of nice 6mm bullets in the 50-80gr ranges, I might try their 87gr BTHP just to see, it looks a little shorter and might stabilize fine.

90 grainers are gonna be border line. A flat based one might work better in the heavier weights.

should be safe with the 80's for sure.
