6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

Watched the clip of the moose thing and then against my better judgement I read the comments. Found this gem. Guys are literally arguing that arrows make wound cavities much larger than 22 cal bullets. Lol

I had to read a few comments. That lack of understanding bullets, cartridges, and terminal performance is strong in those comments. Wow. Im no expert but most of the commenters sure act like they are and it's obvious they don't know much.

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.

Much better varmint/yote bullet in my experience. Bad medicine for them yotes

I agree, I just remember reading something about it for deer, guess I was mistaken! I'm thinking more SST or fusion for mine.

It was a running follow up shot. Here is the video.

Interesting video. Now I'm going to have to look at the Ultralight Ultralight AR thread and see if anyone has built a 22 ARC.

Nah I know of a few people that have hunted deer and successfully used the 87s so it’s not a wrong choice there are just better ones as someone mentioned. The eldm is one of my favorites if you can find a weight that works with your twist.

At this time they don't seem to extract the spent brass well enough to do it.

Like anything else, it depends on impact velocities. When shot out of a 6X45, it works quite well. At .243 velocities, you need to get it out to about 300 yards before it hits the velocity at which it won't upset too much, too soon.
Because we cannot always choose the distance at which game will present a shot, as Form said, there are better choices.

Good point thank you! I'm open to all suggestions. I'll be scouring this thread though looking as well again now that I've got my rifle almost here.
