The 6MM Remington is in the 243 Winchester class, it does have slightly more case capacity, since it is based on the 7 X 57MM case same as the 257 Roberts.  It is a good cartridge for deer and pronghorn sized animals.  Ammunition might be a mixed bag depending on where you live, I haven't looked for any in a few years.  It is an easy case to reload, the one I had loved any 100 grain spitzer and H-4831.  I probably would have bought another one except I have a 257 Roberts that gives me a little more flexibility in bullet weights.

If you reload you can get some real performance out of the 6 mm Rem . factory stuff is fairly mild . Deer and antelope size critters and long range predator / varmint hunting.

Buddy of mine has been deer hunting with his since 1973. I sold one and kick myself on a regular basis about doing that.

It is a fine cartridge that will shoot 55 gr. bullets at 4000+ fps and to 100 gr. bullets at 3250 fps. I have a chono'd factory 100 gr. ammo a 3100 fps. It would work very well for deer and antelope and has been known to kill an elk or two though I would not use it for elk if I had a choice.

The wife uses a 6x47 Lapua for comp. it is one hard hitting round. We shoot metal targets, it does make deep impressions/dents in the targets, much more so than my .308.
