6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Formidilosus]

Would this provide comparable performance (or at least a somewhat close approximation) as a .243 factory load option?

243 Winchester ~ 90 Grain ~ GameChanger - Sierra Bullets

Our GameChanger ammunition is the result of more than 70 years of designing world-class bullets. Each GameChanger round utilizes a Sierra Tipped GameKing bullet with an extremely accurate boat tail profile and a polymer tip seated in a hollow point design for fast expansion upon impact. A lead...

No. The Tipped Gameking/Gamechanger is a relatively thick jacketed, and deep penetrating projectile. There is a lot of information in this thread.

Quick question not sure if I should start a new thread but it is 6 creed related. I recently purchased a savage small shank 6 creed barrel that I need to put on an action. I have a .243 that I really like that I was going to use but I don’t know if I want to mess with that gun. A friend of mine has a 30-06 that I could get cheap but is there any hope of getting a 6 creed to reliably feed out of a long action with a factory mag

Metal mag feed lips can help get it to feed. I have a howage setup with a 6.5CM that was a 30-06 in a previous life, MDT metal 5 round mag solved my issue, took a while to get the feed lips to push the case up without scratching the brass too bad.

I have a Remington long action 6cm.

Feeding is not an issue at all. Ejection leaves a little to be desired.


I have grayboe m5 metal, and mdt 3rd 30-06 polymer mag.

Zero issues feeding.

I don't know if this has been shared but the Exo Mountain Gear guys shot Alaskan moose at 200 and 400 yards with 6 CM. The link should skip to the part of the video where they discuss performance and show damage.

Every fudd is going to be screaming “that round doesn’t have enough wallop” at the TV when they see that.
