6mm Competition Match by MCR

[Kevin Cram]

This round was designed to compare in accuracy to the 6XC but have 50% more barrel life. It's original intentions were for Across the Course and F-Class but it's finding its way into several other classes as well.

6mm has two big advantages in tactical matches:
(1) low recoil, allowing for you to spot your shots and get quick follow-ups off
(2) relatively high MVs, affording the bullets a nice flat trajectory. This pays off big in UKD (UnKnown Distances), especially when you have to mill the target to find its distance.

The downside of 6mm in tactical matches are:
(1) light bullets don't provide as much punch down range, important when you need to see your splash or knock over a target for points
(2) unless you are pointing your DTACs, the BCs are a tad lower than 6.5mm.

Net net, 6mm or 6.5mm are the go-to bullets for the tactical precision match scene.

I've been shooting the 6MM Competion Match since early 2007. My first 1 has 3600+ rounds down it from all types of disciplines. This is still a solid .25 moa shooter. My 2nd 1 is a Bench rifle, only over 1000 rounds down it. Both of these rifles will give me 5 shot groups at 100 yards under .2. Recently borescoped the 1st rifle, it will go over 4000 rounds. I shoot these just like Joe shoots his, alot of the time, fast and in a hurry.

Wow this is cool i was just messing on the net, and googled 6 mm cm to see if there was any new news. And bam a picture of my rifle that kevin built for me. Ive started barrel break in and fireforming my lapua brass . So far so good great groups. I cant wait to do some spot and stock varmit huniting in the sandhills this winter with this rifle. Just gota save up some money for a more repeatable scope. Like the night force i have on my 338 edge that kevin built for me that shoots awsome. I knowhave ive saidstarted this before but Thanks again Kevin for building me these very accurate rifles.
