[QUOTE="PartsJr., post: 2056544, member: 87242"] Thank you for the reply everyone. I’m not overly hung up on getting 2000 rounds out of it, but more is always nice. I realize the trade off of velocity vs barrel life. I don’t want anything smaller than the 6CM. I sense there’s not a lot of love for this round but it has a lot going for it. No, I’m not going to use it for elk hunting. I currently have a more or less shot out 1:12 .243ai so I’m kinda leaning that way. I could possibly fire form my brass in that barrel and swap out for my new barrel. I also have a couple of sets of dies. A friend recently built his 3rd 6ai and has the reamer for it as well. I just wish there was some better or more brass options. Those of you that have experience with these rounds: 6CM .243ai 6ai 6x284 Do you see any of these holding an accuracy edge over the other? I think some cases might be more efficient but I’m not sure about one being more inherently accurate. What is a reasonable expectation for velocity w/105 to 115 gr bullets? When I looked in the Berger reloading manual the 6x284 was not all that fast compared to the standard 6mm. What can I reasonably expect for barrel life with the above rounds? Thank you for sharing your knowledge. [/QUOTE]
