Anyone using this round for hunting? Coyote or deer?

No reason you cant. People kill a lot of stuff with the 6.5 grendel, which is very similar in case capacity.

A guy we hunt with had a 20” 6br shooting the amax for his daughters deer gun and it cleaned house on everything.
How fast you pushing those VMaxes?I have a little Kimber Montana chambered in 6 BR. I generally us 58gr VMAX on coyotes. Small, lightweight and extremely accurate for a hunting rifle. 1-8 twist, #2 SS Shilen
I think its a great idea. I looked at it, and decided on 6 bra. As soon as my rifle is done, I can tell you wahat a suppressed 22" barrel and Berger 95s to 108s will do. They should be between 2800 and 2950 somewhere. I could run a lighter bullet for coyote, and I do have some to try. Ballistics looked good out to 600 and pushing 700 yards on the heavier bullets.
A Berger hunting bullet impacting above 1800 fps is a killer. Doesn't matter if it is from a wildcat caliber or a .243. I reload everything, so made sense to go with the best case for precision.
Benefits of a 6 br case are stupid easy loading for precision and lower recoil. I am hoping it will feed good from the Mini Action, which lightweight and compact size was a priority for my backpack hunting rifle.

I'm not stepping on them hard, 3250 fps but I also have a 20" barrel on that one.
