[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 1422829, member: 98025"] Hey All! So, I had a lot of time to think during my "Snow Day" and here's what I did. I admitted to myself that I was FED UP with this 6mm/.244 Remington experience and told myself that I didn't lose this fight.....I'm just "abandoning" it :D. I called my Smith and explained it to him. Here's what we're gonna do. He's gonna set the barrel back a couple inches (from a 26" to a 24"), re-chamber it to a .243 Winchester and I'm gonna start all over with a slightly new caliber. It uses the same powders and primers I already have AND I can get good Lapua, Norma or Nosler brass this time ;). He suggested a 6BR with a .262 neck. However, that's not something I want to get into (neck turning, etc) considering the issues I've already had AND I currently don't have a single component for it. I want to spend more time shooting and having fun and LESS time at the reloading bench trying to decipher cryptic problems :rolleyes:. I put my Choate Stock and all my 6mm/.244 Remington dies up for sale and my scope is on it's way back to Beaverton, Oregon as I type this. Already got an H.S. Precision M24 Stock and bottom metal on the way, too. Total Overhaul!! Thanks to ALL that helped me!!! Looking forward to using my "new reloading toys" on a new caliber. Stay safe and I'll be in touch. :) [/QUOTE]
