[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 509932, member: 25383"] I'm in the group that says the .243 Winchester is just a passing fad that soon educates folks on how not design case. The Remington VLS is too short for the 6mm remington unless it's a long action. In a Savage it would work just fine as they are a little bit longer. But the Remington used as a single shot would work just fine. The Remington's magazine is too short for even a .243 when using long bullets. There as been much written about the twist rate in the .244 and the 6mm verses the .243. 88% of it is crap! If your shooting PD's and coyotes, your gonna use something lighter than 87 grains most of the time, and a 1:10 (and maybe a 1:11) twist will work just fine. But if your shooting 70 grain bullets the 1:9 twist will actually cause your groups to open up (a .0001" error in the C/G will usually displace .09" @ 100 yards). You'd be much better off with a 1:12 twist gary [/QUOTE]
