is anybody using this for hunting antelope/deer? i thought i saw a post where someone was using one with the 105 amax but couldnt find it.l will be using 105-115gr bullets. let me know your thoughts.
I use a 6 mm dasher, an improved 6BR. I gain around 100 - 150 fps over a regular 6 br with 105 Bergers. The 6 BR / Dasher cartriges are SCARY efficient rounds, especialy with a longer BBL. This is one of my 1000 yard comp guns, but works very well on deer out to 400 yds.
I would use Lapua brass, as it has the small primer pocket. I believe that the 6 mm REM br uses large primers. Way better brass, all though a little pricy.
Shot one deer at 400 yds, double lunged, struggled hard to stumble 25 yds and down/dead.
All else died ON IMPACT.
RP brass ALSO uses small primers, Lapua brass way to go. Make sure Smith knows to chamber so will accept ALL brass, Lapua, Norma and RP and you are good to go.
im trying to get set up to shoot in some f-class stuff.i was going to build a 300wsm on a rem. action but a buddy invited me to a small bore shoot before i got a chance to send my gun off.boy am i glad.i have the bug to shoot high power some kinda serious now.im pretty sure i have decided to go ahead with the 6.5-284.im going 30 inch barrel and the whole nine yards.until i went to that shoot i never really saw the point in spending a ton of money on a gun for just plinking metal but i have got into it enough to know that im going to give it a go!ive shot out to 1100 yards and am pretty decent with no wind but having more experience doping that wind and gaining confidence just seems to increase that effective range very quickly.
