Hunting or target? Barrel length? Velocity?I shoot the 95 grain Bergers in my 6mm creedmoor with a 7 twist with no problems .
I forgot to mention that mine is a 30" barrel, which definitely increases the odds of blowups.

I don't remember since I couldn't do effective load developememt, but I believe it was somewhere around 3200fps. 30" barrel also.Speed related, how hard are both of you pushing them?

Not the new ones. They are both marked with 1:8 on the barrel. Tikka says 8" and I'm pretty sure the RemArms one say 1:8.Thought Tikkas 1in10. And Remmys 1in 91/4
I've had both. I still shoot my 6mmRem, took two bambis with it this season. I use 100 grgiven the two cartiges what are your faverate one and what would you load in them for white tail deer.also its been told to me either with the right bullets are at most a 300 yard or under deer cartrige.your thoughts on this

Sierra. I wouldn't want to hunt over 300 yards with it.
If you handload the 6mm will always be cooler . If you don't handload there's no point having a 6mm Remington at this point. The 243 just makes practical sense, brass everywhere, factory ammo everywhere…,but EVERYONE has onegiven the two cartiges what are your faverate one and what would you load in them for white tail deer.also its been told to me either with the right bullets are at most a 300 yard or under deer cartrige.your thoughts on this
Powerful enough for what? A whitetail? Definitely. A mule deer? Probably with a heavy bullet. A 6mm Remington shouldn't have any trouble getting a 115gr VLD to 800yds above 1800fps. It would probably kill deer just fine below 1800fps.What's the bullet velocity beyond 300 yards?
My 6 ARC is 1800 FPS right at 600 yards. It technically should expand sufficiently at that range, but are 6mms powerful enough at long range?
