[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 451512, member: 25383"] the 6mm Remington case is well known for it's long barrel life. The Ackley should be even longer with the 40 degree shoulder. But on the otherhand the 6mm is at it's best with 90 grain and heavier bullets that are very long. The Ackley really begs for the 1:8 twist barrel and throated for VLD's. Talking 85 grain bullets and your also not going to really use all the case capacity efficently. For those bullets, I think I'd go with a 6/250AI reamed with a 6mm Ackley reamer. Better yet would be a 6/250AI that has a 1.44 shoulder deminsion. You should be able to make cases out of standard .243 brass which is a plus. gary [/QUOTE]
