Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 85gr partition for deer

Have a couple of boxes of 85 gr npt's. Allways used 95 to 105 gr bullets in the 6mm/243 for deer and antelope. Early last fall I had a chance to pick up a model 7 remington with the short 18" barrel. I figger I can get those 85's to 3000 ok. They are partitions I am confident they will do fine.

I've seen 55gr wreck their day. I think 85gr would wreck it just as much.

My brother used the 100gr partitions in his 6mm rem (Rem. 660). Shots usually under 100yds and the occasional 150-200yds. Most all shots through the ribs and the exit was a bit bigger than a golf ball. They don't go far with that hit.
