It sucks when they call your bluff like that.... it always leads to full gun safes.

Bumping this thread in the hopes of an update. I'm in the market for a short action cartridge that can shoot copper monos and it seems like the combination of screaming fast speeds and low recoil could really scratch that itch.

I have a 6PRC coming pretty soon with a 7.5 twist and a 9 twist barrel. I plan to try fast and light and heavy and slower projectiles.
Now that sounds sexy!!They are all based on the 6.5 PRC.
Think 80gr berger at 4,000fps.

I believe the 6 Primal is based off the 6.5 PRC brass and the 6SST is based off the SAUM brass. The 6SST is a screamer with mono's

Maybe the project needed more time on the trigger?
For those interested, you might have to call the o.p. to see where the project stands.

I was hoping for more on the 22 primal when it comes out, hopefully that idea hasnt lost its excitement.

Borrowed from another post:
These larger capacity cases necked down to take .224 bullets usually have limited improvements over slightly less capacious cases. The increase in velocity usually hits a pinnacle while only showing slightly faster velocities. It usually gets pointed out that P.O. Ackley ran most of the then current cases up and down the scale while including the improved shoulder, some without much to speak of when it came to improving the velocity.
I have run the .22-284 which is nearly the same capacity and while getting some spritzy velocities, yielded a less than acceptable barrel life. For a hunting rifle, this might be O.K. but for a target rifle this is doubtful in my opinion.
However... there is no replacement for scratching that itch to create a new to you cartridge. I have fallen victim to this too many times to count. But I keep scratching...
Enjoy the search!
