[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 785135, member: 25383"] I doubt you'll see it in any match under three hundred yards. Those yardages are all pretty much locked up by the 6PPC and the 6BR, plus the BG series was never developed as a target only round. It's really a long range varmit rounds that can also be used to punch paper. It for me is a better solution to the problems that the 6/250AI has, and also not a lot different (little longer at the shoulders). This is why I said the better solution was to use the 6mm Remington improved reamer, and just ream the chamber short to headspace off a 250AI headspace gauge or better yet the shoulder length of about 1.55". That way you'll end up with a 6mm Jaybird with either a 40 degree or 30 degree shoulder depending on which reamer you select. Looking at the 6mm SLR prints, I think I could do a .25" barrel setback, and simply run their reamer in my 6/250 chamber. The only issue I see with it is that with case shrinkage during the fire form operation you'll be hard pressed to see a .290" neck length. Be better with a 1.540" shoulder and an extended neck length to come out at about .32" neck length. In otherwords similar to a 6BG. gary [/QUOTE]
