[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1818290, member: 98025"] My target rifle is a .243, but actually started life as a 6mm Remington. It’s got a stainless steel Douglas barrel w/1-9” twist, straight taper 1” diameter. 6mm Remy chamber was cut with a brand new Manson reamer and for whatever reason I never could get consistent groupings/velocities out of it either (there’s an older thread of mine somewhere on here about it). I tried several powders, several bullets, and several primers and I finally had to just give up. Had my gunsmith re-chamber it to .243 Winchester with a reamer he had previously used to cut 3 chambers with and it’s now the most precisely accurate (and consistent) rifle I have. I hope you get yours figured out, brother! [/QUOTE]
