6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

Just dropped off a 6CM build to my gunsmith:

18” proof Sendero 243 blank
MDT HNT26 R700 SA
Defiance AnTi-X SA Nitride
Trigger Tech Special
NF NXS 2.5-10

Super excited to join the squad. Will be my first lighter recoiling rifle I’ve ever owned (besides a 22lr).
 
My wife is doing her very first hunt this year. She has also never shot a real rifle before (just some 22 LR and 17 HMR).

She drew an ID cow elk tag.

I’m planning to have her shoot my 6 PRC and 108 ELDM’s, and keep it under 300 yards.

The first range trip was a good success and she learn the function of the rifle fairly quickly. Loading her own mags and always shooting a mag full to get used to cycling the bolt after the shot.

She shot 5 shots at 300 yards and 3 shots at 600 yards to finish up the day.

My 7-300 NMI with a 195 Berger at 3180fps, and the 6 PRC with a 108 ELDM at 3170fps.

I have full confidence they’ll both work fine! But the 6mm is great for women, children & infants though 🙌🏻🙌🏻…. Kiddinggggg 🫶🏻 haha. I’ll have a good update after she hopefully kills in mid October!
