Thread: 6mm Remington load??

Brads, this is my go-to site: Knowledgebase
Terminal Ballistics Research. Trawl through the other 6mm calibres, particularly .243 as some of the info may not be repeated under 6mm Rem. Assumes you will be starting with bullet seelction so no loading data though, but that will be straight forward to find.

BRADS I plan to run a 95g Partition in my 243AI, which will be almost the twin of the 6mm Rem (but look sexier). Am still waiting to get it back but it looks like it will be the business. Kinda an old school version of the Barnes

I wanted to run them in my girls 243 but unfortunately it didn't like them much.
It loves 95 targex at any velocity tho but its only shot a sheep and 1 deer so far so can't really comment on terminal performance but looks good so far

I had both at the same time..... do you really want to know which one went faster

If you where hand loading it should be the 6 mm??

Nup... actually they were so close its not funny, I kept the AI and sold the 6mm

6mm and 243AI are basically identical case capacity... it has it over std 243 especially with heavy pills but not the AI

The 95 Targex are great, and I think would work well in the 6mmRem. I have them going 3080 fps out my 20" barrel 243. They seldom pass through, and are more likely to buzz around inside the animal causing all sorts mayhem. They can cause quite a bit of blood shock. I've shot reds, fallow and Tahr with them. 25 yds to 520.

These were together at 25 yds. Neither bullet exited but they both dropped quickly.





Whoops. I 'spose this is a bit of a thread hijack. Sorry.
