[QUOTE="iSnipe, post: 314154, member: 13596"] Many years ago a neighbor used a 6mm Rem for deer hunting. I just didn't know what to say. Matter o' fact, back then I didn't know what the heck a 6mm was. LOL! My brief studies of it show it similar to a .243 but with slightly more power and fps, but not by much at all. It recoils slightly more; most likely not enough to even feel the difference by most people. For whitetails, [B]how far do you think this caliber is good for?[/B] 400 yards? 500 yards? I look for broadside shots usually low in the heart/lung area. [B]What bullet do you recommend I use?[/B] [B]How about the weight of the bullet?[/B] One other question: [U]What 6mm are people referring to when it comes to target match shooting[/U]? Thanks, iSnipe [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
