6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Chris Bull Whacker]

6cm did some work this week in southern Alberta. It’s a killer caliber and people in camp told me I was dumb. Proved them wrong quickly with two shots.

First buck was a giant bodied rutted up whitetail at 330 yards with 108 eldm. 2980 at the muzzle. Shot hit him perfectly in the lungs and the buck flinched at the hit and stood there dead on his feet. Didn’t run at all and fell over 5 seconds later where he stood. No autopsy because it was -4 and we had other deer to kill but the bullet didn’t exit. Just smashed his lungs and killed him fast. View attachment 974327

Second buck was a large bodied muley later that day that I was only killing for meat. Buck was 300 yards rutting a doe. Shot him walking and it looked like he was hit by a bolt of lightning. Didn’t take another step and was dead on impact. High lung shot. Lungs were blown out the back side. Bullet passed through completely. 108 eldm going 2980 at the muzzle.

I'll be hunting my cow elk draw here in a couple weeks with 243 and 108gr eldms up in the GP area. I think there's a couple of us Albertans in here lol

Aoudad at 420 yards this morning.

6GT
108 ELD M
MV 2910
Impact ~2293

I hit him twice both times a little low, just behind the shoulder. No exits. He ran about 40 yards. I was very pleased with the bullets performance.

My favorite “winter” rifle caliber for Ak Wolf, Deer, Caribou, Moose, and occasional spring bears. 30+ yrs. Factory Barnes Triple-shocks or handloaded 100gn Partitions. My FIL loved his .243 for everything; Walrus, Seal, Moose, Bears.

Might as well add another shot 11/26/25. Not the deer I was after the last 7 days think he might have been coming off the Mountian. Most character I’ve shot. Had scope dialed to 200 and held 3” high if I was within my zone it was around 275. Mv is still 2560 ish impact should be around 2100. One rib then through other rib, then stuck in the meat on offside shoulder. Went through heart. Not as big of a hole as last time but had complete jacket and core sep. found jacket in shoulder core went through hide behind shoulder. Died in 50 did a couple skids it looked like a death sprint.

16”pbb from @hereinaz 6cm
108eldm black hills gold ammo
Tikka t3 stainless in vg1 added grip and paint
And of course rs1.2, the more I use it the more I love it might even put one on cheap coyote gun
