Eh, I won’t use interlocks on my next hunt, but mainly because I’ve yet to find a load for them that shoot as good in my gun as Nosler bullets or Fusion factory ammo. I think I’ve shot two deer with interlocks and they both died in sight. Performance was decent even if I prefer an exit. My uncle has shot a lot of deer and pigs with 87(?) grain interlocks in his 6mm remington with very good results.Different experiences for sure. I hope all your future experiences are as positive.
That's the kind of performance I have come to expect - 1 hole, little blood. Guessing but i don't feel you are gonna choose the interlock for your next hunt.
I have cleanly killed too many animals with 105gr Bergers and 105gr AMaxes to have any doubts on their killing capabilities.
The AMax was my choice in this year chamois´ hunt in the French Alps.
Gun is my usual Blaser kipplauf, this one being chambered for the 6XC.

They were great when I called them. Gave me a shipping label, apologized, no biggie.Well my order from Sierra showed up. All 3,000 of them. Just one problem though; none of them were tipped.
This ought to be fun to ship back.
I saw video it’s pretty impressive.The Femur of an Alaskan moose destroyed by a 88 ELDm out of a 22 ARC. A .243 with a good bullet couldn’t possibly take on a deer or elk shoulder….

I have been searching this thread for it, but isn't an 87gr vmax bullet one that is recommended for 243 for deer? Factory ammo only for me.The issue isn’t that you and @MallardSX2, and others have an experience that you are speaking about, it that it doesn’t make sense- and, you are talking “cartridge” instead of “projectile”. Even when it is repeatedly explained.
I can name ten different 6mm bullets right now that kill phenomenally, penetrate well, and create enough tissue damage that lots of people wouldn’t want to use them. None of them, would be bullets you used. If it was simply said “I don’t like how 100gr Interlocks have done on deer”, there wouldn’t be anything to push back on. But instead it’s 243 is a “woodchuck” gun.
Or-
Yeah no.
You gotta watch those ineffective and poor 6mm bullets that don’t kill quick or exit.

Noted! Thanks!It’ll certainly kill. But wouldn't be my first choice.
Form, I can't remember if I've asked this before, but is there enough terminal difference between the NBT and the TMK to notice?
Ok interesting. I picked up a couple of boxes of NBTs but I might have to get TMKs the next round. Thanks again!
22 cal recoil is supposed to help you hit the vitals!! That is impressive. What caused the shot hitting the femur?The Femur of an Alaskan moose destroyed by a 88 ELDm out of a 22 ARC. A .243 with a good bullet couldn’t possibly take on a deer or elk shoulder….
