6mm Remington deer bullet
recurveman replied to Rag Horn's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
My bullets performed exactly the opposite. I shot a CWT and the exit hole wasn't the size of a .30 caliber bullet hole. The internal damage was very little. I was not happy when the deer got up and took off running when I approached it. Gave me a chance to work on my pistol skills!!!!!! -
6mm Remington deer bullet
recurveman replied to Rag Horn's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I was shooting the 6.5 140 grain VLD hunter out of a 6.5 X 284. Shot a few to many critters where the bullet didn't expand on smaller critters like CWT and yotes. My ELDX, sierra, and nosler bullets don't have the same problem. The ELDX bullets are really close in accuracy to the Berger but the Bergers are just more consistent from bullet to bullet. Terminal performance of the Bergers suffers from my real life testing. -
6mm Remington deer bullet

90 grain nosler balistictip is a great bullet for the 6mm caliber. I've probably shot 30-50 big game animals with that bullet and found every one of them and none made if very far.........except one that rolled a long ways down a hill but it doesn't count because it was really dead. Partitions and the Hornady SST bullets have been impressive things to critters over the years too. Personally, I can't stand the terminal performance of berger bullets on smaller animals like CWT/ yotes. I've shot a few to many that didn't die like they should have. You won't see me shoot those bullets at game animals again. -
I got a CC hit in NM for a little over $3,000.00 today. Does that mean I have a sheep tag coming?
-
The down side is you also get to pay about a 3% fee of all charges. So I just applied to NM and it was a $3900 bill. I get to pay a little over $100 in processing fees that I will never get back. All in the name of a .10% chance of getting a sheep tag. I just think the G&F should call people if they have cards that get declined. It's called customer service.......

I own a weatherby like that also. For some reason my shoulder started to hurt again.......weird.

Don't sell primers. Trade them. It is very easy to sell primers but cash can't buy stuff. Trading material is the key in this current market.

Love my BTX. It goes with me on every hunt and I can't imagine hunting without it anymore.

I run 1.5# on my trigger. It gives me enough to know I'm touching the trigger before it goes boom. -
I have 4# of unopened bullseye powder. $150.00 Chad 480-510-4384.

The garmin mini is awesome. The key is to hook it up to earthmate so you can text from your phone. The Garmin mini is a game changer for guys that spend a bunch of time in the field. Plus you can turn it on and off depending on usage. Super cheap to own and operate.

If you are shooting that caliber and round count I'm guessing you don't need the accuracy that annealing will create. If guys are only going to shoot 300 yards and under there really isn't much reason to anneal brass. Annealing brass really helps with neck tension which is super critical in long range accuracy.

I've got the remington ultimate. There is a breech plug aftermarket upgrade that allows you to shoot the BH209 powder. My gun is well under MOA out of the box. Long range muzzleloading????? You need to go bust some primers out at 300 yards and let me know what you think. The wind moves these bullets 10X further than a normal bullet. I've been shocked at how far the bullets drift with a 5 MPH wind. Shooting in a 15 MPH wind would be crazy past 150 yards in my book. The other issue with shooting a muzzy farther is the recoil. We enjoyed shooting 90 grains of BH209. Your gun (not you) can handle more powder but I'm not sure you will be happy. I figured 95 grains of BH 209 was like shooting a 300 win mag. Shooting this gun at max powder will not be an option for me regardless of needing to shoot farther. I personally think the remington muzzy is a really great 300 yard gun. If a better BC bullet came along then things could change but right now you are basically shooting a heavy brick at animals and 300 to me is a good max distance........Keep in mind I'm comfortable shooting out to a 1000 yards with my normal rifles and I'm not scared to shoot that far either. Just not with a muzzy. I say got get one. You will love it.

I solved the annealing problem a few years back. I buy new Nosler brass and only shoot it once. I realize that it has a few draw backs but I like to just put a primer in the pocket, send a mandrel down the neck (adjust neck tension) and load it with powder. I've had really, really good luck with it and don't spend hours pulling a handle. My accuracy has been great out to 1000 yards with a great water line.
