What is the most powerful/longest range 6mm cartridge anyone here knows about?

Any faster than that and you are probably going to start seeing bullets disintegrate before they hit.I'm sure someone has done bigger but the most common are the 6 Mach IV (6-7rm Imp.) and 6wsm. I have a 6wsm and have pushed 105 Amax's to near 3600fps. I think the 6 Mach IV would do 3650fps with 105's.

As do solids. Over the years though we've pushed 17 Rem's, 220 swift and 204's to the point wa saw soft points shuck off jackets or literally just explode before they hit 200yds.You very well could but most tipped bullets seems to handle the stress better than a non tipped. I might pull it out this spring and light up a few rock chucks to see how it does. I have 2 .243AI's that I normally use so I'm sure it is just more of a good thing.
6mm Rem or .243win.What do you think the most inexpensive to reload right now would be.

Shooting what? Steel? Deer? Coyotes? Do you want something you can put a few thousand rounds through or something you'll burn out in 250?Extended range shooting with a very heavy 6mm barrel blank I have laying around.

Coyote, small varmints and targets. I'd rather not burn it out in less than 500 rounds.
