[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 492003, member: 32685"] I want to thank all you guys for your input..........this is the only sight I have found were everyone has a lot of knowlege in this subject. I only have a SA so Im stuck with what works in the SA Does anyone know if the 6mm will work in a short action. That was my first choice as the 6mm Remington looks like it will come close to the performance of the .243 AI. Its just that I was told my the Smith that the .243 would work better. Kenny Jarret, on his web sight, says that the secret to the .243 Ackley is having it in a 1-12 twist..............and when I contacted Pac Nor Barrels they also said that up to a 90gr bullet the 1-12 twist works best but if you want to shoot the heavyer bullets go to the 1-10. I will fire form about 100 cases..........Out here in Nevada, I hike a lot into area's looking for Coyotes and Marmonts. It more like Deer hunting so I wont be doing lots of shooting once I have worked up a load. I do lots of ground squirrel shooting but then I use my .19 badger, and according to James Calhoon, the Pac Nor barrel in the .19 has a barrel life of about 7000 rounds. Does anyone have any experiance loading and shooting the 6mm Remington, and will it work through a Short action.................... Greg [/QUOTE]
