6PPC?

Is anyone still using 6PPC for deer?
Wondering how they’re working with non lead bullets.
Thanks, Ken.
 
Presumably quite badly, since those are usually 1-14" or 1-13" twist. Even if you have something built with 1-10" it will struggle with monolithic non-lead since lightest bullets seem to be around 80gr.

Technically you could shoot something like 55gr Nosler BT leadfree, and removing the plastic tip it might stabilize from 1-13". Same restrictions apply as using other varmint bullets on deer.
 
Shooting deer with it is one thing. Doing so with a deer-legal load is quite another.

I’m referring to Lowland deer as distinct from Highland roe.
