First Buck with the new 6MM-06.

[wbyfan1]

Cruddy day yesterday in Central Texas...cold and drizzly. Perfect weather for deer hunting!! Not the biggest deer I've ever shot, but I'll take it. 9 point, 110 yards with with a Berger 105 Hybrid at 3300. DRT. Bullet entered just behind the right shoulder, destroyed lungs and busted up the ribs on the off side. Looks like the bullet was in a couple different pieces when it exited the skin on the off side. Loving the 6-06, even though all I would've needed was a 30-30 with open sights!!

A beautiful buck; congratulations. I'd say your 6mm-06 worked quite well.

Nice buck , should be some good eating. The 6mm-06 did the job.

Nicely done

Very nice!
Those 6mm and 6.5mm bullets seem to take game out of all proportion to their size.
Great looking buck.

Nice buck and it's got a kicker off the right G2 antler. Good shooting rig from the looks of it!

Just so I know.... 6mm-06 is a beltless 240WBY?

I bet it souped everything from entrance to exit!

Very nice Buck and rifle.

Word on the streets here in Albuquerque is the 6/06 and 6.5/06 is one helluva long range deer and antelope rifle.

That is a great buck!! Thank you for the post with photos :wink:!

Nice looking deer and 6mm at that velocity will obviously do the job on a deer!

Just so I know.... 6mm-06 is a beltless 240WBY?

Yes, that's basically correct. The 6-06 has a skosh more powder capacity though. I'm simply taking virgin 25-06 brass and running it through a 6-06 FL Sizing die. No neck turning, trimming etc... Very easy.

I almost went the 240 Wby route, but decided 6-06 in the end because I had lots of 25-06 brass already on hand.

Very nice! I am very intrigued by this cartridge but I have to admit finding it moronic that a guy with your handle has a Rem 700 in 6-06 rather than a Weatherby MkV in 240 !

Very cool. I think I need one...

That's a nice buck and a good looking rifle. Congrats!
