Questions & thought\'s on 6mm for BR and prarrie poodles.
I've been researching ideas about what to make in 6mm. This weekend I bought a nice .243 Rem 700 just for the action.
Good Grouper has already told me his thoughts on the 6mm Dasher. I have also looked up infor on the 6mm BR, 6mmXC, and I've kind of ruled out the short barrel life 6mm-06 idea.
28 or 30 inch barrel and since it's going to be less of a paper gun I was going for the 1-10 twist and the 90 ish plus or minus 5 grain bullets. Also my max distance planned is sub 600 yards. I was told by a gun smith that The 6XC using the 22-250 type case was the best comprimize for Horse Power and long shooting strings required for PP hunting.
The choices other than the inherent accuracy of some of the BR cases really comes down to case volume. From a low of @30 gr 6mm BR to 40 grains in the 6XC to @50 in a full size .243
