1sakonut Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi guys , Does any body use a 6mm Br as a deer stalking caliber , I already use this caliber for Benchrest with good results, got a spare slot on my ticket for another 6 BR so I was thinking about a light weight stalking rifle to use on mainly Fallow , roe and muntjac,any thoughts on barrel length max distance on my permission is approx 200 yards, I was thinking about a 1in 8 twist . Thanks for your time Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 My 1/8 twist shot the 87gr vmax at 3100 fps out a 22 inch barrel, it had taken fallow, roe and muntjac with no problems ? The guy I sold it to was a stalker in Scotland and he's loving it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I converted my BRNO ZKK .243 into 6br , i rebarrelled it using a 1 in 8 bbl and it shoots 105s perfectly , excellent on roe and foxes , I put it in a Boyds stock ordered just before they stopped sending them direct.

dogfox Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Using a Blaser in 6Br for roe and muntjac and use it for foxes with a 65 grain vmax. This gun will shoot any thing from 55 grain bullets to 105 grain bullets. I love it for roe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPA 6mm BR Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have used the BR and shot many Red and Roe over the years. Never had an issue but always felt a knats fart away from a problem on the Reds. Now using a 6.5 Creedmoor and it's working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
