I'm no Gunwriter but I have some of these for my 243 so I asked Hornady this question:
"What is the range of velocities that I can expect the best performance from the 6mm 100 grain BTSP, Item Number 2453, on deer size game? Thanks."

This was their answer:
"Thank you for your inquiry. The minimum velocity for expansion on the 6mm 100 gr BTSP is 1800 fps. It is capable of having a muzzle velocity window of 2500-3400 fps which is what we recommend."

Maybe someone could figure out at what range the velocity would drop to 1800 fps.


Wag more, bark less.
