[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 913290, member: 13311"] The PDK line is a inexpensive wildcat to change to, especially in a savage and the AR platform because they have 6.8 bolt heads available for around $60, and forming 6.8 brass into PDK is pretty simple. In other rifles, it becomes less cost effective due to needing a new bolt. I've done the 'smithing on all of mine, and I've done a ton of bullet testing on game, but Adam (the O.P. of this thread) has really done more extensive load development with powder and bullet combinations than me, and kudos to him for the write-up. I don't have the inclination or the funds, but I've always thought how wonderful of a varmint cartridge this would be if it were suppressed. Shooting the 80 gr Amax with H4895 really is no louder than my .22 magnum rimfire. No, it doesn't do anything a 22-250 with the proper twist won't do, but it does it with less powder, and it will do it in an AR15 on a fairly tight budget. [/QUOTE]
