6 ARC for youth

[Goodson84]

Picked up a Howa Mini 6ARC for my son, anyone used these for Whitetail yet? How did it perform?

My son is doing great with his. He is able to shoot it well without being aftaid of recoil. 2 does with 108 eldm no issues, one with a 90tgk. Again no issues. The 108 ELDMs had a ton of damage and 30 yard runs, the 90 TGK damaged less meat but was a bang flop.

I think I like the TGK up close and save the ELDM for anything over 150y.

I used my Howa Mini on a Cow Elk at 115 yards, and my boy used it at 380 yards on a mule deer buck. Both were bang flops. I am hand loading the 105 tipped bullet from Mid South Shooters Supply. My boy loves it for the low recoil.

I would do some reading on this thread. It's full of success with 6mm's. Pick the bullet you want to use and keep it above 1800 fps.

Thread '6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game'

Oct 28, 2022

With the success of .223 and 6.5 threads on big game, thought I’d throw this one into the mix.

Show and detail your results harvesting big game (deer, bear, elk, moose, African game) using 6mm/.243 cartridges. Please detail bullet, MV, impact velocity, and whether hand load or factory ammo.
