[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2183846, member: 101791"] For a long time I didn't have much use for a 6mm, or 243, because what was being put on the shelves didn't have much velocity in the 100gr+ area. So I stayed away from that caliber. Over the years I watch the 6mm come alive, and achieving some great velocities in the heavier bullets. So with all the work put in on the 6mm, and what it has done at long ranges, it has renewed my interests, and I don't have one presently, but getting one built. The recoil is light and it with the newer develop cartridges have the velocity I look for. With the newer developed all copper bullets develop by Hammer it look like a winner. The one thing is you will need to speed up the twist rate on the barrel. I am going to a 1-7 twist rate. I am only looking use the rifle for varmints, and antelope, deer at longer ranges. Even with that I will hold my range to about 700 yds. The other is I am not a big fan of supper heavy bullets. I see why and understand why they are being used them. Just my personal feeling. To me velocity overcomes a lot of problems, if accurate. [/QUOTE]
