[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 1389744, member: 88091"] Take COAL into account if you're running a short action and you want to feed it from the magazine. I've had a 6mm Remington Ackley Improved in the past and I wouldn't do it again, it's too long to work in a short action with 100+ grain bullets. I have a .243 right now and with the 105 amax it feeds well and shoots fantastic. The creedmoor and the xc would work well too, they are shorter than the .308 based cases. There are so many good choices for 6mm rounds and so many good choices for high BC bullets, I don't see any good reason to run the "improved cartridges". To me it's a waste of time and money. Barrel life on these rounds aren't super long so why waste your barrel fire forming brass? What are you really gaining with the extra velocity? A few clicks on your elevation turret? I would pick a straight 243, 6 Creedmoor or 6 xc and go shoot. [/QUOTE]
