6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[BasicUtahrd95]

Another 6mm ARC kill with the Howa Mini. 108 ELDM, 230 yard shot so about 2197 FPS impact velocity. This marks 11 with the 108 ELDMs this year. Next year it will be the 107 TMKs.


Blood Trail of this buck.

That's really cool buck! Nice work!

Here is two separate videos of blood trails I video from some does I took. First one was a 63 yard shot, second one was a 280 or so yard shot.

Awesome!

Forgot to share this on here but here is a quick video of a badlands backcountry hunt with my Howa Mini 6 Arc. Took a nice buck at 220 yards. Footage of the actual shot is zoomed in and a little grainy but as you can see dropped him right on the spot. This was with the Berger 105 VLD Hunting bullet with a MV of 2640.

Yeah these are factory. Most lots I've shot average around 2515-2530 fps. I did just recently started rolling my own and did a velocity node test with Staball Match, Alpha Brass, and 107 SMKs and found two nodes in the 2600 fps range for this 16.5" barrel. I'm going to also try and experiment with Reloader 15.5 and see where that gets me.

Might pick up some of this as 243 range ammo at $0.85 per round. Any experiences with it? Wondering who makes the brass. Keeping it for reloads after a bulk order would be nice.
