[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 433178, member: 25383"] I know two guys that built Remingtons with similar (.223/.243) rounds. One was a Jaybird and the other was a Cheetah. The Cheetah was good for about 400 rounds and the Jaybird went about six hundred rounds (both using Shilen #7 blanks before the barrel was trashed. The guy with the Cheetah cut about an inch off the big end of the barrel, and rechambered it for .223/6mm improved!! (as if he couldn't figure out why the first 3/8th" of the throat looked like somebody hit it with a torch!). The guy that did the .223/6mm round now shoots a 6mm Vias. gary [/QUOTE]
