[QUOTE="sbhooper, post: 866463, member: 72297"] I am not generally a proponent of long shots on game, but that was really a great shot and perfectly placed. I met an old man from Montana that killed a big mulie near Turner, Montana at 539 yards using a .243 loaded with 90-grain Speer bullets. He had a Shepherd scope and a range finder. Many people do not like the 6mm and say it is too light for deer. I have a 6mm that I used to kill over a hundred deer in three years doing damage control for a neighbor. I use Hornady 100-grain bullets at 3000 fps. I shot those deer from up close out to over 300 yards and never had any more problems than if I had been using a 7 mag. [/QUOTE]
