[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 538952, member: 22600"] Berger's are really good from the 6mm on deer and antelope. However, they are not too reliable on coyotes. There is not enough target there to have them open and expand reliably. That is of course in my own experience. I have a 6mm rem in a parker hale and love this caliber. It was the first rifle I bought. I did get in on the 87 Grain testing when Berger offered it a year ago. My rifle loved this bullet. So either the 95 or the 87 grain would be a good choice on deer sized game. If you send me your e-mail address I will send you the load data I received from Walt Berger when I was testing the 87 grain bullets for them. I am a little hesitant to share my data as I know that it was warm for my rifle. But, it was accurate. I used H4350 and BR-2 Primers in Winchester brass. If I were creating a load for coyotes only out of my 6mm, I would choose an 80 grain ballistic tip. These also shot well out of my rifle. Heavy enough to buck the wind, yet quick enough for a running shot under 200 yards. Good luck and enjoy. It's too bad Remington didn't get the twist right to begin with. If so you wouldn't even hear about the 243 today. [email]Twitchell@infowest.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
