[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1444354, member: 98025"] I'm currently having a custom 6mm Remington re-chambered to a .243 Winchester. I had some "issues" with that chambering that admittedly had nothing to do with the cartridge itself. The Douglas barrel I ran was a 1-9 twist and at my lowly 500 foot elevation I just could not consistently/comfortably stabilize any Bergers (or other long-for-caliber bullets) over 100 grains. As other members here have stated brass will be an issue for you. Brands like Lapua, Norma and Nosler don't make 6mm Remington brass (that I'm aware of). At the time I was working with that cartridge I could only get Hornady brass and it required A LOT of prep work and had a pretty large weight spread. I have since seen Winchester brass for it at Cabelas....... [/QUOTE]
