Granted not geared toward 6mm hunting bullets for the most part, still a very interesting line of thought that may not follow much of the marketing trend as of late.So based on what he said a bullet that expands and passes thru is preferred to the bullets that so called enter and expand explosively. sSince I am not a fan of lead cores I picked up on what he said about the Hornady GMX but not sure I got it right.
Taken with a grain of salt generally good info IMHO. I did see couple rather minor errors regarding Guilding metal, & drive bands vs grooves W Hammer bullets. Otherwise spot on IMHO. Not bad food for thought at the very least.

Controled expansion plus velocity gives the energy to effect a clean kill AND a bullet constructed to hold together long enough to penetrate are the key to long distance hunting and applies to reg ranges too
Based on this,working with the 90gr CX in Hornady's line and the 87gr Absolute Hammer, the 88gr Shock Hammer, the 101gr Hammer hunter and the 90gr Hammer HHT along with most of Barnes bullets would be worth doing in the smaller 6ARC ?
