Picked up my new 6mm-06 today.

[MOJO67]

Well, finally decided to drink the 6mm/243 Kool Aid. I've never owned a 6mm/.243 anything, so I had to see what all the hype was about and built a 6mm-06.

I had a Rem 700, 25-06 that hasn't seen much use lately, so decided to cannibalize the action and build a 6mm-06. Looked long and hard at the 240 Weatherby and 6-284, but decided on the 6-06 since I already had a lots of 25-06 brass and knew it would feed perfectly out of the existing magazine.Can't wait to put some rounds down range. I have 105 Amaxes and VLD's ready to rock.

Specs:

Remington 700 Action
Brux 8 Twist, 26 inch, Rem Sporter Contour
Chamber cut for long bullets
Bell and Carlson Medalist
Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14X44

270,

What powder are you using for the SMK 95? Also, what velocity?

Have you shot anything heavier than the 95's?

I'm using IMR 4831
Velocity of 3375
Shoots 1 ragged hole at 200 yrds. I know I'm at the low end of starting load but for me accuracy means more than speed. I'm going to a buddy's house tomorrow to work out a 1000 yrd chart.

 

[Mr270win]

I have not tried anything bigger than the 95gr bullets. But I have thought about it.

 

[gohring3006]

nice I bet those 95s at 3300 will reach pretty far I think I want one now lol.

I've got a box of 500 Berger 105 Hybrids sitting here waiting to be slung out of my 6x284. I can't wait to see what they do at range.
