[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1436980, member: 25383"] got a short action? Then why not build a 6mm Vias? Or better yet why not simply build the 55mm case length off a shortened 6mm Ackley forming die. Then trim the neck back to .31". You'll shorten the case about .118". The 6mm Vias will easelly push a 70 grain bullet to 4150fps and the 105's in the 3600fps range. I've at least one 6mm Ackley in the past, and they do work best with heavy bullets. Chamber life is almost forever, but can be a little finicky to load. Start out with near max loads for the standard 6mm, and forget the loading manuals with their limp wristed loads. I'd use a 26" or 28" barrel. Works fine in a Savage action (short or long single shots for me). Shoot kinda slow as the barrel will seriously get hot. There's a lot newer powders out now, and I'd give them a whirl. gary [/QUOTE]
