[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 282601, member: 16954"] 6mm Remington is based on 57mm mauser brass, like the .257 Roberts. While it is superior to the .243 in terms of powder capacity and has a slight edge in terms of velocity/bullet weight, it can't compete with the 6x06 for velocity. It makes a great varmint round tho. Its got a good reputation for accuracy and smacks 'em hard at respectable ranges. The case also offers a longer neck than the .243 which can make optimum bullet seating easier with a wider range of bullet weights. As stated above, the barrel life [I]should[/I] be better on the 6mmRem. And you can buy commercial loads and commercial brass for it. Be careful of the .244 Remington. Some will tell you it is the same as the 6mmRem. The cartridge is, but the rifles aren't. The .244Rem rifles have a slower twist that doesn't like the heavier bullets. [/QUOTE]
