[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 3086705, member: 35100"] When I was young and into my middle years, I hunted Whitetail and Mule Deer with a 6mm Remington using 87 grain Hornady SP bullets. I harvested a lot of deer with it and all but one dropped in their tracks! However -- and it's a big however -- I 'placed' that bullet in the ribs for a lung shot with all the deer I shot! The 87 grain was considered a varmint bullet at the time and with every deer I gutted, the lungs were completely pulverized! If you're hunting the heavy woods and can't be as precise as I was with that bullet, use a 100 grain bullet. Also, if you're a handloader, the 6mm Remington is superior to the 243 Winchester! If you are not a handloader, the 243 will be far, far more common on the retail shelves. In fact, you might not find any 6mm ammo on the retail shelves - so you should opt for the 243! [/QUOTE]
