[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 996438, member: 41442"] my first bolt rifle was a 6mm rem. I killed a pile of deer with that gun and so did everyone else in my family. I was usually loaded with factory 100 grain corelocks or 100 grain sierras, hornadys, or speers. I dont recall ever loosing a deer hit properly by one. Its a small bore round that in my opinion needs good expansion over any other bullet characteristic. Ive not had the greatest luck with 24 calibers be it the 6mm, 243, or 240 through the years with bullets like barnes, bonded bullets or even partitions. Stick to a decent cup and core 100 grain bullet and youll be eating backstraps the next day. [/QUOTE]
