6mm Remington.. Varmint or Deer?

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

Hmmm I just tried a tight fitting patch on the jag and marking the cleaning rod got a measurement of just over 10" between the marks to the twist is around 1 in 10" which means it should handle the heavier bullets better. On Friday I am going to buy some Winchester 100 Grn SP ammunition and perhaps when I can get chance see just how it performs. Trouble i that I am in the middle of packing fro a move to god only knows when I will get chance to get out onto the range next

Gettign a variety of ammo is next to impossible, finding ANY ammo in 6mm Remington is hard enough let alone a selection. So far I have found two Gunshops with soem in stock both are a minimum of 1 1/2 hours drive away. The Importes of Remington ammo have some in stock but their prices are reaaly stupid like how about $219:60 for 100 rds of Rem Core Lockt.

Another thing to remember here is most of our Deer species are smaller like Roe and Muntjac which weigh a maximum of 60 lbs, it's not until you start shooting large Fallow do you get over 100 lbs in weight. The .243 Win is used a lot for Deer Stalking here in the UK. I have never been fond of the .243 and I am hoping that the 6mm Rem will be a beter performer. If it's not well I have a rifle for the collection which will be used on paper then instead. However if it performs well on Game so much the better, once settled and an income coming in I will see about some dies and brass for hand loading.

Anyway thank you for you replies and I will let you know how it performs on paper at least as soon as I have tried it out.
