[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 330221, member: 16954"] The 6mm Rem is the 57mm Mauser case necked down to .244. Similar in design to the .257 Roberts. It runs about 100-200fps faster than a standard .243. Early models were built with a slow rate of twist that wouldn't stabilize bullets over about 80gr, These were labeled .244 Rem. Remington intended the round for varmint use originally. Winchester used a faster twist and the .243 was mare suitable for deer sized game as larger bullets were better stabilized and more accurate. In Ackley improved form the 6mm approaches WSSM specs. Case life is good, and even better with the Ackley version. Good round that offers superior performance on everything from chucks and 'yotes to whitetails and mulies if you get the faster twist barrel. [/QUOTE]
