6mm TGK info

[Grumpystilskin]

Looking for real world experience with the 90 and 100 grain versions of this bullet. What say you?
Thanks, Tom

I'd be interested as well. Was thinking the 90TGK might work well in a 6x45, but might be too tough a bullet for the velocity from that cartridge...??

I haven’t loaded them, but I have a box and their jackets are thiiiiiiick. Leading my to assume they need some higher velocity. Curious to hear “on game experiences” as well.

What weights are the Nosler Ballistic Tips?
The 95 grain NBT is difficult to find around here. Thanks.

I shot a whitetail buck last year with the 90gr tgk chambered in 243 win by Underwood ammo. I dont have pictures of the damage but it was devastating, it broke ribs and left a baseball sized exit.

Might be worth looking through this thread: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/6mm-243-hunting-success-on-big-game.284525/

Wondered about the 100 TGK at 6 ARC velocity

What bullet is on the far left? Jacket looks somewhere between the V-Max and TGK. Might work well if the TGK is too tough for an application?

IIRC that is from left to right,
90gr eldx, 87gr vmax, 90gr b-tip, 80gr b-tip, 90gr tgk, 85gr sierra hpbt, 85gr speer spbt
