I have 3 and love them. I've taken deer a hog a javelina and coyotes with it. I run the Sierra 85 hpbt for the bigger stuff. I might switch to the Barnes 80 ttsx. I wish Barnes would give us like a 65gr tsx. They are pretty accurate easy to load. Uses same mags bolt etc as 5.56. I was shooting the 85 Barnes in the 6.8. I went the 6x45 route to shoot lighter pills for coyotes and still have a deer rig.

I have four of them. Certainly adequate for deer and hogs. Hornady makes very affordab;le dies. I have a couple of those but also use Redding 223's to laod it with. I have shot it for years in matches and done very well with it. Predator Masters has a huge thread with a data on it. Black Hole makes super barrels that are shooting consistent sub-0.5 MOA groups.

Greg What distances are you comfortable with hunting? Never shot hogs but I wouldn't think 200 would be unreasobanle as not hogs are as big as Hogzilla. A deer would be doable at 300 or so. Shot placement is paramount as you don't want one running off. It could stetched somewhat based on shooting skill or conditions. I've got the skills without a doubt but that's a pretty fair poke. Lighter animals like antelpe etc. that are less bullet ressitant would draw a 400 attempt. Obviously ranging is important when you shoot that far. Greg |

You can move an 87 fast enough to do serious work on anythof reasonable size. To me this is definitely not the one I want for hunting at 16". I do shoot one in matches that is a full custom at 17 1/2" It is a fun little whippy carbine and does well for me. It has a Shilen blank made up as a gift for my wife. She lets me borrow it. Greg |

I have made 2. Both are White Oak barrels @18" mid-length gas systems. They are super easy to load for. You really put little stress on the brass. I load mine with 100g Sierra BTSP and they work great.

I just got 1 off gunbroker, It has a Daniel defense receiver, blackrain charging handle & nickel boron bolt, bcm keymod handgaurd stainless 20in .75 bull brll. I have both bcbs & hornady dies. Very easy wildcat, just neck up 223/5.56 brass. Load data available in sierra, lee, and hogdon annual manuals, also previous handloader issues.
Since moving to TX, the whitetails are small in avg. weight then in NYS. So 6mm is perfect for coyote/deer same load, also not all pis are 400 plus lbs, so if people here use 223 on pigs 6mm is fine too. |
