[QUOTE="clacka6mm, post: 1014654, member: 85706"] debating on what i Want to do with my 6MM remington its never been all that accurate since i have had it ,(1 MOA at best) its due for a rebarrel anyway.. the gun is slightly limited in the fact its built on a model 788 chassis in LH and i plan on keeping the magazine. but this restricts my loaded COAL to 2.900 for rounds in the magazine, ( pack gun while deer coyote etc hunting) love the gun itself.. just not the caliber and availability of the load i want to fire out of it.. ( NONE) so im stuck reloading anyway.... if I do the AI setup on the new barrel... to gain the most out of a 26" 1:7.75 twist barrel with the magazine limitation which makes more sense... drop to 243 AI and keep shooting the 95-105 gr i currently use with factory 6MM chambering with similar velocitys or develop 2 loads in 6MM AI 1 longer for where theres time to single load and 1 that fits in the mag and shoots as good as anyone can free hand.. this is a primarily deer medium game gun that may get some varmit use and thats a big MAY barrel wear isnt a huge concern so long as it gets 2000 or so rounds, will probably last me as long as i will keep it and then some if i stay with 95-105 gr range of bullet id like to see about 3300fps if its safely possible...
