Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Go to bullet for deer in 6mm?

This one is easy.

The 85 grain Sierra boat tail hollow point Game King. It has a slightly thicker jacket than some of the other 6mms projectile offerings from Sierra (and other manufacturers) . It is very accurate, and quite devastating on everything that I have ever hit with it. My Tikka T3 6 Rem (rebarreled with a Lilja) pops them out there at over 3400 FPS and they smack the snot out of stuff.


I watched my oldest daughter schwack her first deer with it years back before switching her to a .308 and it was funny. The doe dropped so fast that my daughter thought she ran off. She was panicked for a second, asking where the deer was. The deer just flopped and had her legs in the air instantly. I had to tell the kiddo to stop looking through the scope and to look up, as the deer had her legs up for a couple seconds before she settled down and slid against some brush.







Great little bullet.
