Any Long Range 6mm Deer Hunters? What's your favorite 6mm for that?

I have seemed to be inextricably involved with the 6mm and the .270 Winchester. I have used/shot/hunted with many 6mms, from the necked up .222 Mag case to the necked down .284 cased. "My" favorite is the .240 and the 6mm Remington. I never had a 240 Gibbs ( or similar) but I am finding myself very interested in one! I'm not a LR Hunter, but you guys are! :)

6mm Remington That's my favorite. It would be fun to play with a 25-06 necked down to 6mm to make a 6mm-06. That would be a speedster.

Ruger 1B with the 26" barrel is such a sweet rifle in 6mm Remington. So glad I bought it.

Depending on your twist rate I’m a 108 eldm fan. If your stuck with a 10” twist a 90 eldx, 90 or 95 grain nosler ballistic tip

I've admitted this before and hate to again, but my kids killed a bunch of antelope with a .243 and 95 grain VLD. They use different cartridges now and I shoot the 80 grain Hammer. Soon to try the 70 grain. mtmuley
