[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2031177, member: 307"] Good round. I burnt the barrel out on my Savage 112 BVSS last year and went with a 28" Pac Nor, 9t (pre-fire). The first thing I did was find a Ryan Mantha reamer and ran that through it. That opens up the "head room" a little in a otherwise SAAMI chamber. This allowed me to seat 215gn Bergers and Hornady 212ELD-x's out to 3.7xx" (same marketing ploy used by Hornady for the .300PRC). I've been reloading for 35yrs and load for all my rifles and a few other guys. The RM reamer was a worthwhile endeavor for me, as it allows me to carefully customize my LR loads near the top end. I modified my chamber with the intentions to run Bergers but got a tremendous deal on Hornadys so I went that route. I'm running 212's, Norma brass, RL26 w/BR2's, zero excess pressure at 3070fps. Whether to stay with the factory barrel is up to you/budget. You'll find mixed opinions on here. If it's a shooter, which you may not realize until you start reloading for it, I say keep it. When you re-barrel it, regardless of the cartridge or chambering you choose, the fun starts all over again. I was just looking at MDT's website (MDTTAC.COM) and they have some interesting (to me) chassis systems. I went looking for one that can handle the diminutive 6mmBR. They make one that does (LSS Gen2) and uses external mags. Weight was about 1.4-1.6 lbs but is available for Savage LA/SA. I may go that route for my 6BR. Good luck, happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
