[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1658193, member: 107925"] Chiming in on the 6mm Remington. Superior to the .243 in case capacity and with a longer neck, faster 1:9 twist that can handle heavier bullets than .243 - but not so fast as to vaporize 55 grain lightweights, which it fires at higher muzzle (Swift-like) velocity than either .243 or Creedmoor. The extra couple of grains of case capacity provide a velocity boost, even with factory ammo - which may be loaded to lower pressures. When loaded to .243 pressures, the 6mm outranges the .243 by around 200 f/s or more in muzzle velocity with heavier bullets. [/QUOTE]
