6 mm Remington

[SC Hunter]

If I wasn't so much in love with my .243 I'd get a 6mm, a .244, I think, is what some old timers used to call them. Shame that ammo is hard to find for it, as well as the .260, another great, unheralded deer caliber. 6.5 Creedmoore is pushing everything to the back seat. I'm a notorious back seat driver.

As much as I have a love affair for my 243's I sold a 6mm that I regret selling more than about any gun I had except a certain 300 wsm. I felt like my 243 could do everything that 6mm could do and got rid of it, beautiful browning single shot rifle. That rifle killed a few deer for me and did it very well.

Remington...

The 6 mm Remington is basically a necked down 7 X 57 mm .....

that's not hard brass to find to convert...if you already load it would be a nice conversion

If I was to win the lottery... I'd build me a 6mm Ackley or a 6-284 Win .... My friend has a John Whidden 6-284 Win .... shoot .3's all day... deadly on deer at long range ...

I got a bunch 7 x57 brass ....to bad it is Berdan primed....

Graf's has some boxer Prvi I think I saw today. One of my buddies keeps talking about coming up with a way to use water to hydraulically remove them.

so true - i wanted to test these bullets but still just ain't sure . not sure i'd trust them on a big buck

Barnes are awesome in fast / light for bore applications.
