[QUOTE="dirtball, post: 291154, member: 7344"] I have a 22-6mmIMP. The neck on the one I have has been shortened to the same length as the 22-250Imp to add a little more case capacity. I am getting 3640fps with 80gr SMK in a 30" PacNor barrel. Kirby is correct, the Bergers and the A-max's vanish after about 3300 fps. So far I only have about 125 rounds on this gun. Only time will tell whether or not the SMK's will start to come apart as the barrel gets some wear on it. I am using RS Magnum in mine, I would suggest that you stick with Ball powder as you can get Powder Bridging even with short cut extruded powder in this cartridge. This is not the rifle you want on a prairie dog shoot as the barrel would probably be toast before the end of day 2, but for the guy that shoots 50 to 100 ground hogs a year it will last a long time. I am using a set of 22-250 IMP S-Type dies to do the neck sizing, and bullet seating, I understand that this will not size the base of the brass BUT IF that ever becomes a problem I also have a 240 Gibbs that could be used to resize the base on the 22-6mm brass.
