[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1035541, member: 30592"] Years ago I was a 6mm Rem fan. I owned several of them. I even had a 700 C grade made by the custom shop. I got rid of all of them because of the issue being discussed. They are too long to work in a short action and to use them in a long action would be wasting a long action. I suggest building a wildcat on some version of the 06 case and use a long action. I built one on a 280 case. It has the exact shoulder angle and neck length as a 6mm Remington. I don't have to fire form my brass, I can use any bullet I want and it will easily perform with a 6mm AI. I think I still have some 6mm Rem blood in me. Every time I see something about those Defiance XM actions and their 3.2" magazines, I think about building another one. [/QUOTE]
