[QUOTE="Alucard, post: 68285, member: 4064"] [b]Re: Questions & thought\'s on 6mm for BR and prarrie poodles.[/b] If you want a devistating .277 cal cartridge, have a look at the .270 Allen mag of Kirbys. That will make the "red mist" out of gophers and prairie dogs! Also, I don't think that you can beat the .243 Win in the 6mm category for destruction on little fur bearers. Get a 70 gr TNT, and top load the sucker, and you will get all the "red mist" that you want. If you want to stick with the .224 cal, you could always get a .22-250 Rem re-chambered to a .22-250 Ackly or step up to the .220 Swift. If the .220 still doesn't have what you are looking for, you could get that rechambered to the .220 Swift Improved. I know a guy who was getting 4700 fps + with 35 gr Bergers out of his Improved. If you are looking for outright accuracy, there is nothing wrong with the 6mm BR. Plenty of power of gophers and prairie dogs, plus great long range accuracy. But, ultimately, go with what your budget affords you. [/QUOTE]
