6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[SloppyJ]

Small sample size but shot a cow a couple weeks back with this bullet. Quartering to and a fairly close shot. She didn’t make it 5 yards, basically dead right there. Gutless method so didn’t get in to inspect things to close but there was significant blood trauma on both sides and all the way down the rib cage. It was pretty brutal.

I’ve read of some pencilling complaints but just make sure to check the tips and use the best ones for hunting, and the periodic weird/deformed one for practice. I’ll continue to use them

Good to hear. I'm putting my money on the Bergers this year. I haven't been let down by a Berger yet. Also planning on trying a 95gr Nosler BT. Curious about an 80gr barnes too just for shits and giggles. I'm using it on whitetail though.

For folks shooting factory 6CM 103 ELDX and 108 ELDM: what velocities differences did you notice between the 2 bullets? I’ll be building an 18” so curious what I could expect from a velocity standpoint.
