[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 452315, member: 25383"] The round is very similar to a 6.5 Arch or a 6.5x55 Ackley, but necked down to 6mm. It's a high pressure round that was actually developed for the NRA Across The Course competion or maybe F Class. Greanleaf and a couple others were involved. It will shoot a 70 grain bullet as fast (if not a little faster) than a .220 Swift will shoot 50 grain bullets! I've heard that it can be hard on barrels, and 800 rounds is about it (like a 6/.284). The round is accurate, but not quite good enough for F Class they data for a 60 grain bullet in the 6mm Arch is: 53.5 grains of 4320 @ 4290 fps max load. (I told you it was fast!) Precision Shooting did two or three articles about this round a few years back (maybe six or seven). I have them in storage, and will try to hunt them up next week. gary [/QUOTE]
