[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1508411, member: 69478"] The barrel life is going to be about the same for the 6mm AI as it was for the 6x55 AI. Both are in the same category for velocity and amount of powder burned. I wouldn’t worry about it though. Even if it lasts 1000 rounds, that’s a lot of shooting. I’ve never personally made 7x57 brass into 6mm Remington. I would think you would need to neck it down in two steps. Once with a 6.5 expander then the 6mm expander. You may be able to do it in one step though. You’ll also have to neck turn it when you’re finished. Sizing it down from 7mm to 6mm is going to leave the necks thick. [/QUOTE]
