Anybody use these for hunting ? Thinking on trying some. Will be running 3700+. Thanks for input. JP

No but, If your talking about a .243 bullet: Have a cousin who used that bullet in a 243 for many years quite successfully on Mule deer and elk. Around 3100 I think.

best 6mm bullet ever made, but it's a varmint bullet. at 3700 it will blow up on game - how do you get 3700 out of it????

Loading it in a 6-06. Using nosler part. in it now. A lot of fun to shoot. JP

I have shot a lot of deer with that bullet with impact velocities as high as 3000fps with excellent results. I do think if you have impact velocities over 3200 you are going to have penetration issues. Even at 3k I saw pretty nasty blood shot circle with about 8" diameter, but the deer hit the ground like he was chasing free money.

I've used them in a 6X45 on deer with very good results for expansion/tissue damage and penetration. With good placement they did the job as well as any other bullet could IMO at the velocities available with a 20" barreled 6X45.

Going to use 70gr for the 6x47 & 6x45 . 85 gr for my 6-06 . we will se how the work. The 70gr work real good on whitetail for the 6x47. Thank for all the feed back. JP

One of many useing Sierra 85 out of a 6x45
All were DRT

Looks like a lot of punch power. Going to try them out on a pig soon. JP

I have shot a lot of deer with the old 75 gr. Barnes HP monolithic bullet, now discontinued, so I went with the GS Customs bullet and its a dandy and I get one to two inch exit holes on broadside or angling shots with my 6x45 and quick kills are the norm.....I have had blow ups on shoulder shots with both the 6mm and hot 22s on a couple of occasions some year back using Sierras so be sure to stick the bullet in the ribs and stay away from the front leg and shoulder.
