[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1295000, member: 86754"] When I was recovering from a neck fusion back in 2000, I had a Mod 700 in 6x47 ( 222 magnum/6mm) wildcat made up. It had a 27" Shilen barrel and I necked up 222 Magnum Remington brass ( Nosler makes it now) with one pass to 6mm. I loaded the 85gr XBT bullet to 2900fps (243 speeds) with popcorn poot recoil. I don't remember the exact charge now but it was BLC2 powder. I killed an axis doe, a big axis buck and a big scimitar horned oryx with no problems! It was very accurate and a cutey of a cartridge. I had the bolt face opened up/Sako extractor and rechambered to 243. I should have left it alone....famous words, huh? Its a good one. Oh yeah, fed like slick snot! [/QUOTE]
