Find the right bullet and they were stunning. When I first loaded with these I tried some hollow point bullets - at 100 yards I never hit the target, but there was no impact in the backstop area either. Took a while to realize the bullets were exploding. Oh, and do NOT shoot these in barrels with any kind of muzzle brake device.
The 6mm has just a little more powder capacity and shoots just a little faster than the .243 according to the reloading manuals. Back in the days when I shot a lot of woodchucks/rockchucks I used to like the 87 grain Hornady hollow point loaded with H380. I also used 60 grain Sierra bullets once or twice but did not find them as accurate in my ...
I got the Savage rifle and some factory 40 grain Hornady Vmax rounds. Shot about 15 rounds and these 40 grain bullets are making keyholes, not nice little round holes. At 50 yards, it made almost one ragged hole. It was windy so I didn't shoot anymore. I have not been able to get any 32 grain loads to test yet. Doug Allison
The Remmy isn't a bad ML and many have been used in the field. If possible, try some Blackhorn 209 powder in it instead of Pyrodex or T7...much less barrel fouling and it is not nearly as corrosive. I'd also suggest using 45cal bullets such as the Hornady SST in .452" or their excellent .458" 300gr hollow point or the newer 325gr FTX.
If this doesn't work I would find a .22 cleaning rod with a solid head brass jag. Carefully file the end of the brass jag into a flat, sharp, spear point. Then use this to gradually carve out the lead by turning the cleaning rod handle. You could even use a hand drill for quicker results. The brass will cut the soft lead but not hurt the barrel ...

One of the most accurate bullets is the high velocity winchester hollow points- why? Its made on the newest equipment-- I read that in a review in some shooting publication and guess what? they were correct-
These bullets measure approx. .448 and when cotton .0025 is wrapped 2 times around the .448 bullet, it becomes .458 diameter. These bullets also have hollow bases and when the wet paper is wrapped around the bullet, the excess overhang paper is tucked in the hollow base.
