[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 811122, member: 2736"] The 6mm Rem has more taper in the case and is longer but has about the same case capacity as the 243 and there would not be any gain in velocity. You would have to cut at least 1'' of the back of the barrel, re thread the tenon, cut a new bolt face recess and re chamber. (A lot of work for no gain. If you want more power/velocity you can re chamber to 243 AI and pick up 100 to 150 ft/sec and not have to do anything to the action. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
