[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1413640, member: 86754"] I've owned two .240s and one 6mm/284. I started with the Barnes 90X above 54gr R19. 3500fps and death on coyotes and Axis deer in Texas. I shot the Nosler 90 BT in both the other rifles, again, 54 R19 in the .240 and I have forgotten what powder in the 6x284 (I gave that rifle to my Youth Minister along with my load data notes and I have slept since then. ha) I have a guy in my church who has used the 240W/Nosler 95PT for decades on muleys and elk, but I forget what powder he told me. Its a great deer/varmint caliber. I have gone from the 240W to the .243, the 6.5x47 ( 222 mag necked up) the 6.5 Bullberry , ( 6mm/30-30 IMP), the 6mm/284 now back to the .243 Winchester ( because its in a Sako Forester I like! I see the .243 as a varmint/deer caliber like the other smaller rounds. The '06 capacity 6mms are just plain wicked on deer! [/QUOTE]
