[QUOTE="DavidleeCole, post: 1900226, member: 85306"] Man I dont know. I have had a 243 and every deer I shot went down right then hit so hard that they warped the ground when they hit. That was standing, walking, eating, running what ever they was doing wherever they were at. I love the little rifle. With that said... I do have an 1:9 26" 6mm 3 grove lilja I want to put on my ole model 70, but I read all these articles about this 6mm or that one and I like what I read but if it ain't broke why fix it. The problem is when you change cartridge you change everything and it's so much money. One story I have to tell Ok so my friend got invited to a big deer ranch in Texas and told to shoot as many does as he wanted to they was thinning them out. So him and his dad took a box of shells (hand loads) for each rifle a 243 an a 270. They made sure the ranch owner was correct on the as many as you want then they went to work. They took 63 does in three days and all was brought back to Arkansas and a many of folks was fed. So the first day they ran out of ammo and had to go to town and get some more not a big deal for a .243 and .270 got two boxes each went and rezero for factory ammo and went back to work. That said how would that went had you a creed, dasher, BR or any other 6mm cartridge? That keeps me on the OLD PROVEN WAY. [/QUOTE]
