I love the 6ARC in compact rifles for deer hunting, so far i've shot 3 with the 103gr eldx out of SBRs (12.5" and 13"), and one with 100gr TGK out of an 18". Both bullets worked great, I think the 103gr is about perfect for the cartridge, especially out of shorter barrels. I have been trying to get the 107gr TMK to shoot as well as other bullets in my main hunting ARC, but haven't been getting the groups I'd like, so I'll probably use the 103gr or 108gr this year. I think we get 3 does per day here in TN and I like testing bullets, but now that my oldest is hunting, if he kills two and I kill two like last year, that's about as much meat as we'll eat. I wouldn't mind trying the 95gr TMK if I can find some and have time to work up a load before the season.
The thread could use some pics, so here is the buck from last year taken with a 103gr Eldx out of the 13", went down quickly and left an excellent blood trail.
