After a lot of time thinking about it (probably more time thinking about it than some things I should be thinking about) I am reconsidering the BT's, but I have a few questions. Has anyone seen any dead on bone shots with the bullets? I just keep thinking about my nephew or I pulling the shot...
I was waiting for you to weigh in on the debate David! You and I talked model 600's a few years back and I remember very clearly how much you loved those little rifles. A very good friend of mine and long time hunting buddy keeps telling me I need to not let the sentimental side of the rifle...
I was fishing a small river up the road from where we lived at the time one day trolling along trying to catch some crappie. I was heading for a beaver hut, which was a pretty rare thing on this stretch of the river. As I approached I glanced at the hut and went back to fishing, but something...
Super-7, I agree it is possible that the bullet just punched a 6mm hole straight through both lungs and if I had been able to track further (crossed onto other property I do not have permission to cross onto) I might have found more blood as the chest filled up and reached the hole. I have seen...
Since I started using the Interlocks 4 yrs ago I have killed my share of deer, including a small buck around 150 yards at a trot last year just a few days before I had the two run off. The only thing I can figure is that for some reason they didn't pass through those deer. As I think it over...
I agree the Interlocks should have done the job and they have in the past, but something went wrong. I was shooting from a solid rest and had a clear shot, so I really don't think the shot was off but ya never know. Unfortunately, these two instances has soured me to the bullet. I have...
This story reminded me of a hunting trip I took back in high school. Just outside of town there was a tract of land that my buddy and I hit up every afternoon from August til January for everything from deer to squirrel. One time I was out there alone with my Grandpa's old beagle. That beagle...
Many years ago I had three does come walking in on me. I sat and watched, try to decide which one to take, when I realized one was standing on only three legs. I assumed that the front back leg was tucked against the side of her body out of my view and that someone had taken a bad shot and...
For the past 4 years I have been shooting Hornady 100 gr Interlocks in my model 600 6mm because the gun loves them, the price is good and they are easier to get a hold of locally. Last year I had two deer run off after hitting them at no more than 100 yards. The first was a yearling doe...
Thank you I am very happy with it. I inherited it 2 yrs ago when I lost my Dad to lung cancer. He bought it back in the 70's after he got out of the Corps for antelope hunting in new Mexico. He never got the chance to take an antelope with it and ended up coming back to Illinois because he...
6mm Remington- My remington 600 is very accurate with 100 gr. partitions. Hornady Interbonds are pretty accurate, but the partitions make them look horrible. It's just a shame that I can not find .243 partitions anywhere locally.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but it seems to be the...
I think I have decided 100 gr. and 90 gr. partitions are going to be the first I try. I have read plenty of posts about partitions going through bone easily and penetration being excellent at all ranges, so I think it's probably my best bet. I like the expansion of the e-tips, but price and...
How do they perform at under 100 yrds? I want something that will perform at close and far ranges. Right now I am leaning toward either partitions or accubonds simply because, to me, the more weight I can put behind the bullet the better. This is my first year using a rifle for deer (I am...
I was reading through some of the old posts and saw someone talking about loading the 90 gr. e-tip for his 6mm rifle, of course now I can't find the post. I have been thinking about loading the e-tip for my 6mm and would like to find out what powder and so on he used. Anyone know who posted...
