[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2195842, member: 104363"] Since you are targeting the 6mm, I would look at minimum twist rates for any of the heavy for caliber bullets and mono bullets that are out there. Also, provide a dummy cartridge with the longest bullet you decide on so you don't seat these longer bullets deep into the case. Your friend can provide insight and discuss with the Smith doing chamber work. The 6mm is small so you need as much bullet weight as the animals you are targeting, distance and terminal velocity/performance. There are limiting factors. I'm not talking you out of a 6mm, but modeling it's performance in energy, speed and drop will provide distance boundaries you should consider for hunting. [/QUOTE]
