Considering 6mm x .284 vs. 6mm-06

Have you been able to take any game with the 110 atips?
Groundhogs. Not on anything else.
I built it for target shooting out to 1000yds. Given the opportunity I would like to try it on Whitetail.

Well, I got a shot yesterday afternoon with the 240.
Nothing really to note other than I was surprised that the medium sized doe actually caught that 80 grain TTSX that was launched @ that speed. She was quartering at a hard angle to me and I shot her in the neck at about 105 yards, the bullet passed into her offside shoulder and did not exit. Of course, she hit the ground with the crack of the 240 and the whomp of the impact. I could feel the damage inside on that shoulder and it felt like a tennis ball sized hole, but I couldn't find the bullet. I have a friend that is going to do the butchering and hopefully he finds what's left of the bullet. I'd be surprised if it was able to keep any of those petals, but it will be interesting to see.
Follow up here.
I was told by the guy that cut up that deer for me that there was indeed a very small exit hole in the hide of the deer that I didn't see. So, I'm thinking that the bullet did possibly shed the petals and made it's way out the off side shoulder.
