6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[sierracharlie338]

I keep going back and forth between Dasher and GT. GT feeds better from standard AI mags. You can get kits for the Dasher/BR.

GT is the way……..

You might check the 106tap thread that was floating around when the bullets showed up for sale. I can’t remember if it was posted there or not. Seen a few kills with them so far posted also.

Gotcha. I appreciate it. I’ve killed a few things with them, but haven’t had the chance to stretch the out enough to care about the BC

I am a little new to this topic so bare with me. When looking at velocity at your farthest effective range for bullets like the eld-x and ballistic tip. Are you ok with 1800 fps or do you like a little more for wiggle room?

generally yes. Some will perform as low as 1400 but that’s outside of manufacturer recommendations nor has there been enough data that I’ve seen to say it’s consistent enough to trust.

I have enough to kill a barrel so I may try them in my GT to see how it like them and then stretch it out.

I prefer to stick to a 2000fps limit for peace of mind. I also tent to try different bullets that aren’t as verified as others so that’s a factor for me. Plus, 2000fps gets me far past where I’m comfortable shooting animals anyway.

Holy cow, I was not aware of this projectile.
Have you found that 0.580 g1 bc to be accurate?View attachment 972627

.281g7 @ 3kfps works for me.

6mm GT = 34% more case capacity than 6mm ARC
6mm Creedmoor = 58% more.

6mm GT case capacity to bore area ratio is identical to that of 6.5mm Creedmoor.

That’s the first paint job that I’ve seen that makes the rokstok look good. DIY?

Also, congrats on punching some tags!

Thank you!

Not a DIY for this one. I gave them a specific pattern and colors to use and they made it happen.

Have you killed any others with the 106 TAPs?

I’ve only seen 3 kills with them and all were indistinguishable from a 108 ELDM kill basically.

Just some coyotes. I will be killing a cull elk with it in a few weeks.
