Showing a typical day out for deer. The 6 XC has proved surprisingly effective for me on deer, very mild to shoot and good impact observations.

 
I call mine a 243win [...]

Agree. 243, XC, Creedmoor - couldn't tell them apart from shooting them. Only thing for me is that 6mm bullets are almost 2x the $ of 6,5mm so will eventually migrate back to that once this barrel is gone.

beautiful land and film!
i'm waiting for my rifle to be back from my smith with a 6xc barrel and wonder which bullet are you shooting?i hope the 108 eld m will work as good as the 147 eldm worked in my previous 260 barrel!
 
Great video as always, Thomas. There's a very soothing quality to your vids that no one has been able to replicate.

Thanks for that, very generous of you. I try to bring in the atmosphere and more of the whole experience of doing this, sometimes it works. I wish I had time to invest in proper classes and really learn to handle the camera. (and gett better lenses)

This was the 105 Amax. It wouldn't been my first choice, but I am by law required to use 100grains or more and this was the only legal bullet I could get my hands on. It worked ok and all deer have been properly shot tnrough so far. I don't know what kind of jacket the ELD M uses, but I would expect it to be similar and for that bullet to work along the same lines as the Amax. That being said - manufacturers sometimes change the specs of their bullets without telling...
