[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 136192, member: 7"] Your case for the 6mm-.223 is very flawed. With the 6mm 55gr Blitzking, top velocities are in the 3200 fps bracked - that is NOT equal to the .22-250. Further, you have been seriously missled on the BC. The BC of the .224 55gr blitzking is .270 The BC of the 5mm Blitzking is .220, and decending to .210 @2950fps. I know it fun to dream about wildcats (ask me about the long ago defunct ".222 Looong Neck" sometime), but this 6mm/.223 is old, well trampled ground (ei, many have that tee-shirt). The plain vanilla .223 will shoot flater, hit FASTER, and hit HARDER than the 6mm/.223. Plus you can buy it off the rack. I know, it's not sexy [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I know the truth is hard - I spent a lot of money on the .222 Looong Neck, and all I have to show for it is one loaded round [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
