Can't help you with the 55gr, 6mm shots, but the 17, 20 & 224 one's shoot very well in some of my rifles, for general plinking and small game, up to the size of coyotes.
And they shoot pretty darn accurate up to around 350-400 yrds for me.

I would like to locate some of the 6mm ones, from either Midways dogtown or Midsouth shooters, Varmint night mares, which Nosler supplies too them for their bulk bullets, but they have been showing out of stock for a long time.

I tried them shot ok when I slowed them down in a TCU, I had a box of 500 what a deal !! . Ended using most for a fire forming, would imagine in 240 Banshee 6mm hornet would be good

Will they work in a 6MM like the OP asked about?

My thought also BCB. a 224 diameter in a 243, don't believe they would be very accurate, know you don't either.

OP - They work just fine in a 6mm but if you are going to use them on coyotes and plan on selling the hides they won't work so good - lots of hide damage unless they are slowed down considerably. On the other hand a coyote hit with them is generally dead in its tracks.

I don't know bout that, but I had a coworker in the 1970's who told me he had a Pre-64 Model 70 in 30-06, but it also shot 270 and 308... just not as accurate. Anyone up for giving it a try and reporting back.

All kidding aside: I put that there because Dogtowns and Varmint Nightmares have been pretty hard to come by lately. Thought that if someone were looking at that thread they might also use the 22s. It might help someone out to know before they are all gone for God only knows how long.

The Nosler 6mm 55 gr. BTips are super accurate and devasting. I use them in my 6BR at 3,700. With a .276 B.C., they are an excellent bullet

Good shootin'. -Al

Very poor advice to tell someone to shoot a cartridge that is not proper for a given chamber. so many things could go wrong, with improper head spacing, etc. and cause a rifle to blow up and/or someone get injured or killed.
There is a reason we use common sense and only load a firearm with the proper cartridge it is built and chambered for.
