[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 736392, member: 25383"] another seriously interesting round to look at, that also is fairly easy on barrel life is the 6mm Vias. How they get that round to shoot so good still amazes me. It's pretty much nothing but a 6.5x55 necked down to 6mm with the shoulders blown out and pushed back about .040". It will push a 70 grain bullet faster than a 220 Swift can push a 50 grain bullet!! I think George used a 35 degree shoulder angle, but could be wrong on that as I've lost my data on the round. It's pretty easy to build. Of course you could always do the same round with a 6mmAI reamer at a length that would allow you to use 6.5x55 brass or 6mm Remington brass. That round ought to push an 87 grain bullet into the 3650fps range, and that's flat smoking! I know of one in my neighborhood that's tagged coyotes in the 800 yard range several times ( Douglas barrel in a Savage 112V with a 1:8 twist). I can't see that far! gary [/QUOTE]
