I plan to use a 6mm-284 for Antelope and Deer this season.

Any suggestions on what bullets would perform best? I am a meat hunter.

Thanks!

When I had a .243 I found that Federal and Win 100s were not very tough.
Nosler Partition worked very well.

I was leaning towards Nosler's 95gr B-Tip (hunting)

I've had excellent results with Hornady and Sierra in a .243 Win.
Sierra 100 grain GameKing #1560
and
Hornady 100 grain BTSP #2453

Haven't had a chance to use the Hornady SST, but I would trust it also.


All of these are usually 1/2 the price of the Nosler bullets.
Personally I just can't get the accuracy from Nosler bullets I've tried as well.

I have used Hornady 100gr BTSP for years with very good results on antelope.

Hornady 87 grain V-Max bullets got me an antelope 2 years ago.

dropped dead in 1 step at 100 yards.

you could go for something that will retain better though.

they obliterate P-dogs as well[Beer]

Charlie, I have lots of 95s that you can try. Let me know.

Great!

I only have 1 box of 95gr Nosler BT to try.

We can talk at the Wed. night Steel Match.
