    I always just pick a target and numbers at random!

    I randomly determine the 6 numbers and then mess around with them to get a solvable target. Sometimes I use all six, sometimes less, but I find if I try to be clever with all six, there's usually an easier solution using just four or five.

    Anyway, here's one to keep the thread going:

    Target: 308
    1, 3, 4, 6, 25, 75

    I sometimes (cheekily!) use the same numbers and a slightly different target, but the only thing I do is check there's no trivial solution before posting it.
