[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 510649, member: 25383"] the standard 6mm case is really about it for a .24 bore size. This is why you really only gain about 150 fps with the Ackley. The .284 case is very close to the 30-06 case capacity, which is very over bore for a 24 caliber. In other words you end up blowing most of the increased powder out the end of the barrel. P.S. ran some test awhile back compairing the .243, .243AI, 6mm, 6AI, and the 6/284. The 6AI was slightly faster (less than 100 fps) than the .284 case with chamber pressures that were very stiff to say the least. I'd liked to seen them add in the 6Vias, but that would have ruined a lot of other folks plans. gary [/QUOTE]
