Well, not really a deer machine, but, I built a 6BR on a SA Rem. for Prairie Dog shooting about 14 years ago.I have a 6BR switch barrel. I put an HS Precision mag on it. It does not feed the BR cartridge very well. 6x47 and up does fine.
Don't see why not. Can't be much different from a 243 Win which has been killing deer for a long timeI was wondering if anyone uses a 6 BR for hunting deer. I'm not talking mule deer and elk, living in the south our big white tails deer will be 200-250 #'s and 100-300 yards. I would be shooting 105-108 gr. bullets. Just wanted some of you fella's thoughts that may have one and used it for deer hunting.
thanks
I killed a decent 4 point mule deer with my 6 BR. I echo 25WSM. My savage action does a terrible job feeding these bullets. Jams easily in the field and the gun is not mag fed. If you spend the money and get the proper mag setup with an appropriate action to ensure consistent feeding, the cartridge itself will work fine for deer and antelope. Similar to a .243 or 6 creed as far as terminal performance. Just pay attention to bullet selection and impact velocity and you will be fine.I was wondering if anyone uses a 6 BR for hunting deer.
