[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1924423, member: 27307"] [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/6mm-06.htm[/URL] This is the link to the larger excerpt used above. Chuck Hawks uses quite a bit of literary license when it comes to some of his writing. The sentence I quoted is an example of such. The 6mm-06 may have enjoyed a few minutes of fame at some point in time but it never "has become one of the most popular wildcats". I started out with the .240 Weatherby for hunting Coues deer in southern AZ. It's a perfect cartridge for those longer shots at this smaller deer. Yes the brass can be a little expensive but it can last through several reloading cycles when you practice proper loading techniques. And as a hunting cartridge the uses are fewer than if this was a target cartridge. I moved onto the 6mm-6 but in the Ackley form since I don't believe that the 17 degree 30 second angle neck is useful except for rapid loading under extreme field conditions like warfare. The Ackley expands the number of powders found to be useful in reloading this cartridge. It also promotes more complete burning of the somewhat slower powders favored by reloaders. My normal bullet choice is the 105 gr. VLDs although recently I bought some Tubb 115 DTACs which I'll get around to sometime this year. H-1000 is great due to the lower burn temperature but I like Re-25 as well. [/QUOTE]
