[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 484703, member: 25383"] the 6HLS chamber can be reamed with a standard 6mm Remington reamer to the .250 shoulder depth. You have the prefered neck length of the 6mm Remington, but with a much for efficient case volume. It's also a very accurate round and was used in benchrest shooting for awhile. There are actually three different rounds with the word "International" in there name. All come off the same parent case design. The Donaldson International is pretty much a .250 case necked down to 6mm with a 30 degree shoulder with a neck that looks to be about .300". It'll push a 100 grain bullet well over 3100fps. The 6mm Remington International is also made off the .250 case. But the neck is pushed back quite a lot. Mike Walker claimed 3000fps with a 100 grain bullet. Then there is the Durham International. It's made off the .243 case, and the neck is similar to the Remington International. Shoulder angle is 40 degrees, and overall length is 1.875" Kind of amazing that everytime we fire up the CAD program to design the killer cartridge with your own name on it. We only find out some other guy did it twenty years prior! gary [/QUOTE]
