[QUOTE="Xjetmech, post: 2752833, member: 110837"] I've had a 6mm Rem. built on a '96 Mauser, with a Douglas standard weight barrel, for 40+ yrs. The barrel came off a light BR rifle, chambered in 6mm Donaldson International, if I remember right. It likes the Hornady 87gr bullets the best. Using 4895, or 4831 powders, with Rem. 91/2 primers, the best accuracy, {nickels at 100yrds}, comes at about 2800 fps. I've tried lighter weights, and got higher speeds, but accuracy went out the window! I've wanted to rechamber to 6mm AI, so I can use a heavier bullet. [/QUOTE]
