We all have different experiences, and few of us shoot enough animals to determine any answer definatively. Three deer is meaningless in the large picture, but that may be all of our expereince.

For example, my experience with the 6mm on five head of game was not good. Even a 65-pound goat gave the bullets trouble and I almost lost it, even with a good shot. The 6mm will kill of course, I read about it all the time, but based only on my own experience I'd never recommend it. I prefer 100-grain bullets launched far faster than the little 6mm can produce.

Two of my three 6mms were not that accurate (2.5 moa) but a third shot well under moa. The most accurate bullet was the Sierra 85 BT but it was the worst game bullet.
