[QUOTE="ptaylor, post: 136641, member: 4644"] [b]Re: Opinions wanted, again.....[/b] Kirby, I like to reload as much as the next guy. I just can't figure out why you would want to stray from the .223, in an AR platform this seems to fit what you want to a "T". For the modest gains from the 6mm-223 it doesn't seem to add enough benefit for ranges out to 400. Why not just use a longer pipe? say 24-30" this will boost velocity to what the 6mm would give you. If you really want to do some high volume shooting get a chromed lined barrel and go to town. I burn through 400-500rnds in two hours every trip out (5-8 shoots a year) in the spring and my barrel is going on 6 years of hard use with no ill effects. It's no benchrest gun but holds MOA out to 400. I have to reload all winter so I have enough to get me through the spring when the dog-towns go HOT.
