[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 809572, member: 52763"] I have often considered a 6mm Remington, but since I have skills most hand loaders don't have, I'd opt to buy 257 Roberts or 7mm Mauser brass, neck it down so it has a thicker wall in the neck so I can ream the bore of the neck, make a special arbor to fit the ID & then turn it to a perfect diameter for the chamber in my rifle with a perfect wall thickness & perfect concentricity from the inside to the outside of the neck. This would give less stretch in the neck area when firing and less when sizing with a modified sizing die. I like long case life along with accuracy. However, before I retired, I had 46 years in the machine shop trade and can make or do almost anything I want, since I have a small machine shop at home. I may never have a 6mm anything, because I'm old and probably won't have enough time to do everything I'd like to do. My present desire is to have as much fun as possible with a custom Savage LRPV chambered for the 22-250 with the Dual-Port Left Load, Right eject Target action I ordered a few weeks ago. It should arrive in the next 3-5 weeks. A 6mm something or other would be my next project if I live long enough. I used to want the faster ones like the Ackley Improved calibers, but decided I don't want any barrel burners. I addition, I have to drive nearly 100 miles round trip to a decent range, which eats into my available time. Being an old fart slows me down some, but it hasn't stopped me yet. I really enjoy listening to other peoples ideas. Spencer [/QUOTE]
