6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[jupiter4651]

6BR
110gr Horn' A-tip
450yds Impact velocity 2091fps.

Exit side, piled up inside of 50yds. NOTHING better than watching "EVERYTHING" unfold through your scope from spitting distance to what ever distance your comfortable shooting too.

This is the load I want to try and build a rifle for my daughter. What rifle specs are you using.

6mm CM, 103 ELDx, impact velocity was around 2760 fps.

Large bodied deer for here, weighed 187 lbs on the scale. He was quartering hard away from me and I hit the crease just behind the shoulder. Pretty good penetration, as the bullet fragments made it to the spine. Did not recover any of the bullet.

He did the 30-40 yard death sprint and bulldozed in. Didn't find a spec of blood, but he cut a swath that looked like a bushawg trail, so it was an easy track.




Caliber sized entrance.

Nice buck.

Great post.

Just curious: why did you choose 103gr ELD over the 108 or 109?
