[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 28196, member: 34"] Pennmonty Don't overlook the straight 243 Winchester. I have a 30" 8 twist barreled rifle in the 243 Win. that shoots to 1100 Yards quite well and with repeatability. The 30" barrel gives much better velocity then a shorter one will in the 6mm caliber. I use the 105 to 107 gr bullets in it and Lapua brass. The effeciency of the 243 is well documented and the barrel life is MUCH better then the 6/284 or the Ackley or Gibbs versions of the 6mm. I also have the 6/284 and have owned the Ackley and Gibbs 6mms over the years so I'm able to made the comparisons. Good luck in your decision. Later DC [/QUOTE]
