[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2311149, member: 109113"] I think you would do well to choose whichever 6mm cartridge you can get brass for most handily. In your area, I don't know which one that would be, but all of those could also be had in brass with a larger neck diameter than 6mm and necked down to 6mm easily enough. Other components will be of spotty availability regardless of bullet diameter, but you will probably be looking at the same slow-burning powders that are used in all the 6.5's & 257-diameters that other guys are steering you toward. If you go with the heavier 6mm bullets, deer at 500 yards are in serious trouble, and the light recoil of these cartridges should make this rifle a death ray for you with any of the cartridges you mentioned. You'll be able to practice a lot without having recoil fatigue you. [/QUOTE]
