[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 532706, member: 25383"] The 6BG is really just starting to show up, and it's already got a following. With a .35" neck length and minimum body taper with a 30 degree shoulder, case are easy to form out of .243 brass (same over all length). You simply ream the chamber to use a .300 Savage headspace gauge. The 6BG is kind of like a 6BR with .470" added to the middle, and a longer neck. It'll drive a 105 grain bullet out to 3200fps. The 6/250 and the 6XC both are nice rounds, but both also suffer from the short neck syndrome. The 6/250AI is better, but still suffers from the short neck length. I form my cases out of .243 brass in my 6/250AI, and if I were to do this all over again, I'd have reamed it with a 6mmAI short for a total length of about 2.20" after fire forming. Shoulder length would fall right in the middle between the .250 case and the .243 case, but with a .32" neck. gary [/QUOTE]
