[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1050756, member: 5219"] JE Custom, I agree the 6mm Rem cartridge being longer but cannot agree with case capacity or top end loads. Sources are not identical but 6mm Rem has 1 to 2 grains more capacity. [url=http://kwk.us/cases.html]Case Capacities[/url] [url=http://www.chuckhawks.com/rifle_case_capacity.htm]Rifle Cartridge Case Capacities[/url] [url=http://www.oocities.org/capitolhill/lobby/1221/case_cap.htm]Case Capacities[/url] The 6mm Rem has more velocity potential: Hodgdon's load data page: 6mm Rem with a 100 gr bullet: 10/14 loads over 3000 fps with six loads over 3100 fps with top one being 3189 fps 243 win: 100 gr bullet: 5/18 over 3000 fps with only two loads at or over 3100: 3000 fps and 3122 fps --------------------------------- The 6mm AI will beat the 243 AI as well.
