Hello and need advice for which 6mm.

Don't even think about it. Go 6 BR like Mark said. I leave my
6 x284 and 6.5x284 at home when I go prarie dogging and take a 12 twist 6 BR and fast twist Dasher. 70 Nos BT's work great in the 12 twist. 87's shoot fine. I just favor the 70's for more speed and less recoil. Doc Stone has made 1000 yd kills with his 12 twist Dasher with 87 V-max. Splatter and aerial stunts are unequaled with his combination. My 6 BR 12 twist is all you need out to 600 with 914 yd being the longest shot with the 70 nos BT. I have a box of 80 gr Nos. BT but have not got around to trying them yet. I get the 70's in the #250 count box. I shot the barrel out of a 40-x in 6mm Rem. It is a good round but the 6 BR is a great round.

I find a STANDARD .243 Winchester more than adequate with 70 grain fare for any Coyote/Gray Wolf/Cougar out there. If one must have a custom caliber modification, realize I reload many stock .243 Winchester cartridges at acceptable prices to me. I enjoy quality at reasonable prices, so I'm not looking for something new and often weird in 6mm prowess. My favorite 70 grainers: Speer T-N-T and Nosler Ballistic-Tip. Cliffy
