Just dropped a 110 pound doe with a hornady interlock boat tail soft point. One shot at 160 yards. This is now my white tail rifle. If you cant take a white tail with a .243, you should go practice more. EJ

Roskoe, that 6mm-284 is a fantastic cartridge and i can,t say enough about it. They are a real sleeper for sure!!!!!!!! Love it! vangunsmith[8D]

welcome to my world. LOL.
Nah but really, I'm glad your enjoying your new rifle. looks like another one converted to this awsome round.

Heres the proof!

Please note the tag on the leg. Ethics first! Yeah, I got my first buck this year as well, I used my 06 on him though. Tore up a bunch of meat. EJ

Roskoe, I make no illusions about knowing more than you about hunting/ballistics or anything else. You've helped alot of people here and me in particular. This is something that really doesn't matter and is just nit-picking. The tongue being bit could very possible been the sheer physics of the situation. Go ahead an jab yourself in the adam's apple it'll drop your jaw and lift the tongue up-and-out...then if a bullet travelling several thousand FPS tugged/crushed you neck bones back and slightly downward, after jabbing you in the throat, your skull would come down on your jaw pretty hard...and your tongue would probably still be in the way. Just a thought

paul, now all you have to do is learn how to hang your deer, it's from the hind legs.

That makes perfect sense. It sure was a violent reaction - bit clear through the tongue.

I tried that last year, but it sure is tough to get all the meat from the backstraps and the loin out when they are hangin legs up. Are there other benifits to hangin them legs up?

Hi there I just bought some Sierra 85-grain HPBT GameKing in 243. I have a Remington 700 with heavy barrel. I am going after mostly groundhogs and coyote. I also reload and was wonder if you had and recommended pounder for this load. Thanks you.
