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

Here's a photo of a mature eastern Montana buck Eileen took with her semi-custom .243 Winchester Husqvarna a few years ago. He appeared near last legal light, near some very thick timber and brush (you can see the edge behind her) and she decided to use the high shoulder/spine shot to anchor the buck. He dropped right there, and the 100-grain Nosler Partition exited. She also used the same bullet in the the .240 Weatherby Magnum in an Ultra Lightweight Mark V, with similar results on both mule deer and whitetails.

The Partition shot very well in both 6mm rifles, but she'd been using the 100-grain TTSX in her NULA .257 Roberts for years now, with great results both on big deer and cow elk, because it shoots better than the 100 Partition in that rifle.
