[QUOTE="Rooster 50, post: 147179, member: 7552"] I shoot a 6mmAI in a long action J series Savage.Wouldn't trade it for anything. It's got a 26in Kreiger barrel a SSS trigger custom recoil lug and is both pillar and glass bedded. This gun rocks. I've been shooting 95gr Bergers in it for a varmint shilhouette competition for 2 years. At 400 meters it knocks a heavy coyote target 2 feet straight back before it can fall over. I am currently shooting Norma brass for competition loads but am thinking about switching to a necked dowm 7x57 brass. It takes a little neck turning but you can have a tight neck rifle with a factory chamber and neck it it's done right I don't want to list loads but I will say I use Ramshot powder and a powder measure to load and really like both. I'm getting great speed with the Ramshot powder and it burns clean. The speeds are at least 200-250fps better than a stock 243 and with the longer neck on the 6mm cartridge barrel life is a lot better than a 243 or 243 AI. One last thought if you have any choice of actions definately use a long action for this cartridge. It gives you the ability to seat the bullets out as far as you want and still feeds great from the magazine [/QUOTE]
