Just picked up a rem 700 ss synthetic. Ballistics look good just looking for opinions, favorite loads, thought it may be a good calibre for my grandson to hunt whitetails.

I like the 87 gr hornady spire point and the 95 gr ballistic tip in front of IMR4831, lit off with fed. 210's.

Two older aquaintances had a 6mm Rem and a .257 Roberts.
And I had a .35 Remington. Boy were we all overgunned!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know much about that cal but I would go with a heavy bullet for deer since recoil should not be a problem.

The 6mm Rem. is a great deer cartridge. My first deer rifle was a Ruger 77 chambered in the 6mm, I had more deer drop in their tracks with that gun than any other cartridge that I have owned since then. I wish I would have never parted with that old rifle.

Did Nosler ever introduce the 95 gr. Accubond that was rumored about for the .243 and 6mm? I would think it would be a real winner for Whitetails.
