[QUOTE="StumpyJohnson, post: 2815522, member: 122458"] Sooooo, I like to shoot, a lot. But dang nabbit if I'm not tired of primer and powder prices and availability. Holy heck am I tired of paying out the nose to shoot my favorite cartridges. However, I've returned from a rabbit hole today...6mm cartridges that use SRP's. Never got into them but I think I'm about too... Every component is available and moderately priced. And a kazzillion competition shooters can't all be wrong. So, which one? Leaning towards 6x47L. Considering 6 creedmoor, or 6 ppc. But really looking for an efficient 6mm cartridge that relies on a small rifle primer and develops decent velocity. I'd say most 6mm cartridges aren't lacking for accuracy. So what other factors should I consider? Barrel life, chamber considerations (freebore), powder efficiency, hunting viability (norcal blacktail, mule deer, pigs), component availability, are all considerations. But primarily I want to sit on the bulk of my stockpiled components and explore a new cartridge in 6mm. Your experience and suggestions appreciated, I lick windows and eat crayons in my spare time.
