[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 700674, member: 23486"] I have a 1-12" twist 6mmAI built on a Savage 110. The only regret I have is that I didn't go with a faster twist. Bullet selection is REALLY limited in my opinion. I also had to modify the mag lips to feed properly, that straight case did not like the factory magazine design. This 110 is the short magazine style, originally chambered in .243 Win. which is probably where my problem stemmed. The 6mmAI is a bad *** cartridge, I started shooting 85grn Nosler partitions thinking it would be fur friendly, it is.... sometimes :rolleyes: I've shot probably 100 jackrabbits with that combo & it ain't pretty. I did see a badger taken with it though, at about 80 yards, frontal shot & it didn't exit. With it's sharp should & long neck, the 6mmAI should have great bbl life for a high performance 6mm. The only thing I would change is the twist rate. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
