[QUOTE="OldRed, post: 1709324, member: 91482"] If cometition shooting is of any interest I would consider a cartrige with a longer neck that you can get a slightly more uniform grip on the bullet and not have to seat long bullets so deep in the powder charge. I shoot a Remington 6mm the choice was made because a local store had one that had grown a long beard sitting on the rack over 2 years, all the guns for hunting season were sold and coyote hides were selling for $40 bucks still on the coyote and I was driving 115 miles 3 times week checking cattle paying burning a gallon of propane every 8 miles. Propane had just gone a dime a gallon to $0,65 cents and I bought the Remington 788 for $239.95 and 2 boxes of ammo. It sure was easier for me to load accurate ammo with the Rem 6mm than it was with a 243. To be fair I only loaded 90gr Serria MatchKings to about 2950 fps. They made a small entry hole and no exit wound just blowing up inside the coyote out to at least 450 yards, the longest shot I made. I think the longer necks allow me make more consistent ammo. I doubt that wort enough to a hunter to be worth having yet another caliber, but for those shooting completion or trying to shoot one ragged hole at 300 yards there are 6mm rifles that shoot lass than 1.1 MOA groups in front of witnesses. If you like 1/4 MOA what would you think of a 1/9 MOA? [/QUOTE]
