[QUOTE="Ranchertx, post: 587661, member: 40156"] I shot my first deer with a .243 about 45 years ago, so, always had a soft spot for the 6MM round. I always wanted a .240 so I finally got around to buying one about 7-8 years ago. It is a Weatherby Accumark, a really beautiful factory rifle. I put a Zeis Conquest scope on it and use it often for hunting down here in South Texas. I have primarily used .95 gr ballistic tip factory loads as well as 100 gr Nosler Partitions. The Ballistic tips are a little fragile inside of 150 yeards, if you shoot a deer be sure and put it behind his shoulder, in which case it will expand violently and not exit. I use hand loads more now, using the 90 grain swift scirroco bullet and RL 19 powder. That is a sweet combination and the swift bullet is about perfect for this round. [/QUOTE]
