[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1035096, member: 63138"] tbrice23 I'm running the 6mm Rem in a custom rifle built on a Sako short action. I also have several Savage short actions. I just stuck the 6mm ammo I have in one of the short action Savage box mags and it looks like it fits fine. This ammo is loaded with the 80 grain Barnes TTSX at a COAL of 2.9". However, VLDs seated out to the lands might blow past the 3.1". Nevertheless I wouldn't give up on the 6mm versus the 243 as the 6mm is rated to 65,000 psi versus 60,000 psi for the 243 Win and with more room in the case the 6mm is more versatile, kind of like the 30-06 versus the 308 Win.
