i usually shoot in thick stuff, so i use brush gun cartriges, to put an animal down real quick. and i'm not worried about long range performance, but im going to be hunting a much open area, bordered by swamps this year. i have a 6mm-284 it's a cooper varminter, very accurate, with 95gr. partitions. i bought the gun for long range groundhogs. is this good for our smallish, northern florida deer? usually not much heavier than 150 lbs, not like the super small key deer down south florida, but smaller than an ohio or indiana deer. the longest shot i would be taking from my stand area, is about 250 yards so thats not very long. but does the 6-284 got enough poop to do the job when it hits meat? i know when i hit something with my 180gr. .357 cast bullet, or a 170gr. 30-30 bullet from my contender carbine, at 40yards max! it will do the same thing every time, go all the way through almost every time, from any angle, or am i going to have to choose my shots more carefully? the front sholder is the target i shoot for. rib shots can walk too far to find sometime in our thick swamps. and i'm not shy about a texas heart shot, as long as the critter is standing, not running! is the 6mm 284, up to the task?
