6 ARC ammunition

Boy-howdy have there been some doozy threads here in the last week blocked up with indigestible crap like a stag party who went for all-you-can eat McDonalds ...

Is it not hunting season in the US, or something? This usually happens once a year, usually when y'all aren't out hunting, and are at home with nothing better to do than channel the spirit of Ron Spomer ...

I have read them, along with the other threads about how much 223 wounds an animal, can't be recovered, or has to be shot more than that 308 I mentioned.

do you have a link to this thread? All I see is success stories with guys shooting 223s with proper bullets.

These are my favorite threads, I read through most of the .223 TMK thread and after a while I just skimmed and waited for these type of comments to come through. I have no dog in the fight, no experience with killing with the small calibers, besides a 257 weatherby, and that experience is skewed a little bit.

109grain ELDM. This is what I'll be loading for next years 2nd rifle hunt from my 16.5" barrel. With that said, 99% of shots where we hunt are under 150 yards and I tend to pick my shots. I personally do not purposely shooting elk in the humerus. They arn't that hard to kill, they just can be "tough" even if they are a dead bull standing. The crazy thing is, myself and my family have used 7mm mags, .270s, 30-06, .308s, etc. The bullets used, we have also used on whitetails and the weirdest thing out these high sectional density cup and cores in the 6mm, they have out penetrated on game (whitetails because I haven't shot an elk yet with the 6mm ARC) vs using say a standard 140 grain cup and core from the .270 or a 150 grain cup and core from the 30-06. I consistently get pass throughs on deer with the 108 ELDMS, where the once I mentioned above, I did not. And the trauma inflicted in the chest cavity is a lot like the cartridges I mentioned above.

I got confused about wallop after reading this so I’ve added a 45/70 (not pictured) with 405gr flat points. Should be covered.
