6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Bobrobheimer]

First big game kill since building a 6 creed. Bull elk - 200 yards. 90gr Hammer HHT doing 2800ish MV (16” barrel) Wound channels seemed similar to my 300WSM shooting 180gr Hammers - about 1.5” Dia. Not like you’d get with an ELDM or such but seemed to do the job.

I’ve become a huge 6 creed fan.
My two tags punched this year were with a 6CM

Tikka action, 20” Bartlein 3B, fluted, Rokstok, US OG, High Desert bottom metal, factory mags, UM short knob, UM rings, NF 4-16 ATACR Mil-R reticle. 108gr factory ELD-M

Mule deer at 665 yards



Cow elk at 540 yards. 1st shot was high, behind the shoulder. She laid down when the rest meandered away. I got to 350 yards and put one in the back of her head.


Bullet from the shoulder shot caught in the hide

Man! Not to clutter up this thread, but you should post one about that rig! I'd love to see some pictures of the setup!

Id like to see that as well when you have time.
