6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[KyleR1985]

Midway has factory seconds on clearance. 87Vmax, 90 NBT, 103eldx, 108eldm all over half off new price.

Cheap 6mm range bullets.

*I'm assuming these are the bullets, as I couldn't find any other tipped bullet at that grain weight and caliber.

Can someone help me ID a bullet? I assumed it was a 90gr NBT, it was the only 90 tipped I knew of. Learned there was an ELDX.

Does someone have one or both of those to compare, or can ID from picture?

Looks like hornady 90 grain eldx

Two white tail does killed this year with the 16” 6 ARC. Shooting 108 ELDM’s at 2500 FPS muzzle velocity. Wife’s doe was 150 yards and second doe was 230-240, exit wound pictured was the 240 yard shot, heart was from wife’s shot that impacted the bone just above the elbow. This gun continues to blow golfball or bigger sized exits out of whitetail at 200+ yards. Gives me all the confidence in the world in this bullet at bigger game.

I believe the 90 gr nosler ballistic tip has a shorter boat tail than the bullet you have pictured. I would guess the bullets you have are 90gr eldx. I don’t have any of either on hand to measure.

108 ELDMs are deer slayers

Eld I believe. The nosler would have a purple tip

Eld I believe. The nosler would have a purple tip

I’d think the same thing. But in my new baby no sleep stupor, they sure looked kinda purple in the box haha. Put em next to other hornady bullets and they look the same.

That’s why I posted the dims. Wanted confirmation.

Been there congrats on the new baby. Go kill something with an eld now and post pics lol

Is this 6.5PRC necked down to 6mm? I am not familiar with 6PRC, only 6.5PRC/7PRC/300PRC

Yup, it’s a wildcat cartridge currently.

Yes sir, that’s all it is. I’ve been happy with the performance for sure.

How does the 6 prc compare to the 6 um?

 

[huntnful]

How does the 6 prc compare to the 6 um?

I think about 100fps slower when they’re both filled up with N570 and operating at the same pressure signs.
