6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Ajsomp]

I missed the online restocks for the 95 TMK’s. But I got lucky yesterday at my local gun shop and found 3 boxes on the shelf!

Any recommendations on Peterson vs Alpha brass?

Buddy of mine has good success with alpha.

I’ve never used Alpha, but I’ve heard good things. I have Peterson for a couple cartridges and would not hesitate to get more of them.

Same as above. Have had good luck with both brands.

Thanks all! Looks like Peterson is in stock and a decent price so ill pick up some.

Success today with the 6x45! My daughter has always been highly opposed to recoil so we built this up and she shoots it well and shoots quite a bit. Shooting the 85 grain game king at 2640. Right at the very edge of comfort for how far I would want her to shoot. 326 yards. Perfect shot. No exit. Top of heart and one lung mushed.

Outstanding work congrats to the young lady!

There is just something about that round that intrigues me. I need to thin the heard!!

Grizzly-4/5 years old
108 Berger EH impact at 1925ish
3 impacts
2 thoracic - one exited, one didn’t get though the offside hide(didn’t find this bullet)
1 high shoulder hit that ended up in the spinal canal at occiput/C1(pictured bullet found when removing the skull)
Pictures of exit side and a lung with both bullet thoracic wound channels. I thought I got better pictures of all of the holes but I wasn’t holding the phone.

6 creedmoor-but a short barrel

I figured it was either a short barrel, longer distance, or a 6 ARC. A 6 ARC gas gun with 108's would make pretty good bear medicine in a defensive case.

I agree they would work well especially at high impact velocities. Even at low velocity after the first shot it was clear that it wasn’t going far.
