[QUOTE="CLP308, post: 543915, member: 30319"] The 6mm was a Remington developed cartridge. I don't recall the parent case. The .243 Winchester was Winchesters answer to the original .244 Remington, which is the same as the 6mm. The .243 is formed from the .308. You can use .244 Remington shells if you find them. The .244 worked better with lighter bullets because of a slower twist rate. The 6mm will slightly out perform the .243, it just lost the popularity contest. Great gun. Shoot away. [/QUOTE]
