    Question 6mm Bullets for Antelope and Deer

    I plan to use a 6mm-284 for Antelope and Deer this season.

    Any suggestions on what bullets would perform best? I am a meat hunter.

    Thanks!

    When I had a .243 I found that Federal and Win 100s were not very tough.
    Nosler Partition worked very well.

    I was leaning towards Nosler's 95gr B-Tip (hunting)

    I've had excellent results with Hornady and Sierra in a .243 Win.
    Sierra 100 grain GameKing #1560
    and
    Hornady 100 grain BTSP #2453

    Haven't had a chance to use the Hornady SST, but I would trust it also.


    All of these are usually 1/2 the price of the Nosler bullets.
    Personally I just can't get the accuracy from Nosler bullets I've tried as well.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Hornady 87 grain V-Max bullets got me an antelope 2 years ago.

    dropped dead in 1 step at 100 yards.

    you could go for something that will retain better though.

    they obliterate P-dogs as well
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
