6mm Remington?

[boolit]

Another way of putting it. If the 308 win and 30-06 were loaded to the gills (max pressures in both) is it possible that the 308 is faster than the 30-06? NO!

Are you serious? Comparing the 06 and the 308 to the 243 and the 6mm? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah Ok... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am not comparing them, Mr. Boolit!

You forgot to quote this part of my post

Analogically speaking this is what you're claiming!

Key word being analogically as in analogy not proportionate. You do know what that means right?
In lamest terms...... If one case has more capacity than the other the more capacious case will outperform the other.

Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about

You do need glasses I quoted 3248 with my 6mm in my ruger not 3000. 250 fps may not mean much but it is an increase.

WOW that's alot POP.... !!!! Thats really outperforming Man!!! Whoe!! :roll:

Well sir thank God we have you here so you can educate us on it since we do not know what we are talking about. We appreciate your input. :wink:

 

[boolit]

I always loved the 6mm. It has a lot more than the 243. Remington screwed the pooch with the initial slow twist.

250 FPS that's alot more man... :wink: :roll:

Anytime. Yeah that 250 FPS will make a bigger hole on a chuck.

 

[FOTIS]

To me 250 fps is a lot. What can I say? It is the difference between 300 Win mag 200 at 2900 fps and a 300 RUM 3150 fps with a 200 gr. Can an elk feel the difference? Maybe, maybe not! Do I feel the difference? Every time in the back of my mind.
I stated that 250 fps is a lot of difference. Well that is the same as a buddy of mine down south who thinks the 30-30 is the greatest deer caliber.
I simply do not agree with him. SUBJECTIVE.....

BTW please do not think that I am trying to convince you! Just pointing out some things.
All this is super subjective to each person. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

To who? Oh.. to You.... So it's your opinion... Ok. You have that right. But act like it's fact that's all.

 

[FOTIS]

Well yes to me! I was talking about me.
Look there are some statements we all make here that are fact!

Example: the 6mm is more capacious than the 243 win.----fact


Some statements are opinion
example" the 30-06 is the best caliber ever"---opinion

odyous amigo.

Good grief.

 

[FOTIS]

odyous amigo.

It is odious, but I am sure you knew that.

 

[Powerstroke]

Guy -

I could have one of these sweet little ole Remington 6mm's if you'd just sell me yours - :wink:

Maybe Remington will chamber this one in one of their special editions within the next few years if we're lucky ?

 

[Guy Miner]

Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it. But us "rifle looneys" as John Barsness describes the tribe, can certainly keep the cartridge alive. Buy some brass, buy yourself any short-action Remington and have it re-barreled for the 6mm Rem... Or even a long-action... Some of the comp guys are running the 6mm Rem in a long action, with the bullet seated well out for more cartridge case capacity.

Any of us can have a 6mm Rem barrel screwed on one of our favorite actions. I've given considerable thought to replacing the current .308 barrel on my Green Machine rifle with a 6mm Remington barrel... That could be quite a varmint/target/mule deer rifle!

 

[6mm Remington]

Guy you hit the nail on the head. It really deserves an action of 3.00 length. In my Ruger #1B I don't have that problem and my load is 2.860. In my Remington 600, that just doesn't work and I have to go with the standard factory length. Now my son's Ruger MKII has just a bit more room. I believe his E-tips are at 2.840 and he has enough room but not excessive and they sure shoot great.

We keep throwing this around as there are so many of us 6mm fans out there, maybe Ruger, Remington, or even Winchester would pick up on that. You might think that some of the gun RADD's who work for these outfits might check out what folks are talking about on sites like Nosler to give them some insight to what people are looking for? Just a thought! :shock:

Here is another fellow hunter who was pulled to the 6mm.

Scotty

 

[boolit]

Only because he has a long action.

 

[SJB358]

Well, he seemed to be pulled more by the fact it was a little rarer cartridge and seemed to perform a little better than the 243. But who knows really, seems like a cool project. Scotty

"I didn't really want a .240 Weatherby (since I've already got a .257 Weatherby), and I didn't really want a .243 Winchester (a cartridge that short didn't seem to take advantage of the length of the Mauser action).

I gravitated pretty quickly to the 6mm Remington, which seemed to offer good performance with very mild recoil, and make a good match for the Mauser action. A less universal availability of commercial ammunition made it less practical than the more successful .243 Winchester, but I guess this out-of-the-ordinary quality was another factor that made it interesting to me."

 

[6mm Remington]

I already own one dream 6mm Remington in a Ruger #1B. Is it okay for a guy to want one more? I really want a 6mm in a bolt rifle as well. This would be my other dream build. :!: Ruger Hawkeye action, Winchester Model 70 (new model), or a Montana Rifle Company action.

Barrel- 24" Shilen

Stock: Boyds nutmeg laminate that will be both glass bedded and pillar bedded with the barrel floated just forward of the chamber. Like to have it checkered like my son's MKII too!

Scope: Leupold 6x by 42 mm with the long range dots calibrated for the bullets I would use.

Nosler: 100 gr. Partition, 90 gr. E-tip, 90-95 gr. AccuBond (if they ever finally start making them)

Opinions aren't facts are they? If he said SEEMED does that mean over the top, above the .243? The 6mm Rem. and the .243 win. is it like the .240 weatherby verses the .22 hornet?

Consistancy (accuracy, velocity, pressure) wise is the 6mm better than the .243?
