6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Forestryguy]

Second utah spike killed with my Ruger American predator 6mm creedmoor in a week (posted my young cousins spike last week in here taken with the exact same rifle/ammo) Factory Hornady Precision Match 108 ELDM 2915fps from the muzzle and shot him twice at 810yds. Impact ~1700fps slight quarter away as he was feeding. Both entries were about the size of a 50¢ coin. Little further than I would’ve liked but there was very little wind, he was calm and I had a great prone rest. If someone is on the fence about the effectiveness of 6mm/243 on game bigger than deer (me just a couple months ago) don’t worry just make sure you can shoot decent and you’ll be fine!

Did you get an exit at that distance? For curiosity of limitations.

It’s a Christensen action with a x-caliber barrel. Western precision rifles stock. Hawkins rings and a Razor LHT. The 103’s are running at 2930 fps.

2930 from an 18” barrel, that’s awesome. I’m getting 2820 from my 20” 6gt.

Been on the fence about using it at extended distances (500ish yards) but after seeing these results, I think I’ll be fine.

I bought a 500 count over the weekend because it showed in stock(3 in stock).

My card was charged but never got any sort of confirmation email.

Has anyone else purchased from Sierra directly - is this normal?

I got a box ordered. Says that it may take up to 2 weeks to process.

No exits with those shots. My cousin shot his spike with my rifle and ammo out of the same factory box at 320 once and that bullet did exit.

Update on the 95TMK, I spoke with Sierra today he said it was a website glitch and they do not have 95TMK in stock. My order was canceled.
