6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Formidilosus]

Something I actually wanted to ask about. The current load for my 6 PRC doesn’t line up with quick drop. I’m guessing there are gaps where it doesn’t work?

Correct. Very high MV makes it challenging.

Too much of a good thing!

2,650 would be near perfect quick drop.

It’s a “mild” load and still breaking in. The hope was right in there. 2650-2700.

16” barrel has them around 2,600, still settling in though and will speed up.

Def respectable. Similar to 175s in a 308 relationship in my mind.

Except 6mms are way cooler than 308s!

I love me some 6mm but the 308 will always be in my stable for several reasons. The 6mms are getting much more love these days if I’m being honest though.

Yeah man. I killed two big game animals with the 308 before breaking out the 6mm and .224s.

Something feels right about starting off hunting season with the old 308.

Forgot to mention on kill 7 posted above that there were large lung chunks all over the ground at impact location and more chunks along the very short blood trail.
