RE: 6mm Remington and elk
I have no experience with 6mm on elk, but I do have extensive experience with light loads on elk. Growing up i was a skinny runt of 125 lbs wet. My dad gave me a 270 featherweight which was a dream to carry but had pretty good recoil for a small guy like me. I started out with 110 gr sierras and became so confident with the load that i used it for everything from gophers to elk. I never lost an elk and even with a light 110 gr. bullet, it would break bone and push into the vitals. I would be totally confident (in fact i plan on using this fall) with a .243/ 6mm with a 100gr. nosler partition bullet. read the reviews of that bullet on MidwayUSA.com. it holds together and will push through bone on larger animals and keep going. Good luck in your hunting!
