HAVE PUSHED A FEW 6mm : 243 Win, 244 Rem AI , 243 AI , 6mm PPC , 6mm-06 AI , 6mmXC II, the 244 AI is a custom build with the correct twist to handle 85-100 gr and shoots chucks just super out to 3-500 yds . The 243 one is straight in a Win 70 Pre War the other a custom w/ sako bull SS bbl in 243 AI another favorite, The 6mm-06 AI will reach out there for sure!!!!! Use both the most in 22 Cal & 24 Cal besides the 17's & 18's & 20's , have them in both pistol bbl.s & long guns and love them all. Each has a purpose at the camp. The 244 does have a slight edge over the 243 for sure. But the all out king or the 6mm is my 06 AI. Use my 6's for chuck / varmint The 6MM XC II is still being worked on but will carry a 1;7.5 / 1.8 twist still in court over that twist- do have the 115 gr for it. Like to stay with the 100-115 Gr for it. What's a better twist rate for the 100-115 gr Bergers or ????? for the 6XC ????

When I built mine Krieger and Berger said to go with a 7 twist if you plan on running the heavier bullets. I throated mine specifically for 105-115 Bergers. Shoots in the same hole if I do my job.

Dumbest question of the day .

Go try to find a Tikka 243 or 223, do you think they are dead also?

No…Savage and Howa aren't making rifles in them anymore so was just wondering. Also up here all gun stores I've contacted say no one is asking for 6mm Creedmoor.

FWIW, I just called and/or checked online EVERY gun shop with 100/150 miles of me and only found 11 6mm CM rifles. All but 3 were chassis models and the 3 non-chassis were 2 ruger predators and 1 savage model 10

Wish I lived near you!

I built a 6mm CM two years ago and hunted with it for the first time this past year and really enjoyed it. Defiance Deviant GA Hunter (medium), 24" PCF 1:7.5 twist, shooting 105 Hybrids. I use an Omega 300 on it and it's surprisingly quiet. I didn't think I would use the can on it as much as I do, as I probably would have gone 22 or maybe 20". Otherwise, it's a fun setup.

Faster than 243 .... what numbers you getting. I run my 243 105s 30 in kreiger 1&8 3230 and I haven't even pushed it to the max. Peterson small rifle primers help I asume

Yeah my Berger 109gr LRHT with CCI BR4 (normally run CCI 450s but no stock currently) alpha brass and 42.5 gr of hybrid V 100 powder has been my main break-in Load. Don't feel my barrel is broken in yet as no increase in velocity. Currently I'm ~ 3050fps.

I don't think it is dying, ammo is just now getting back on the shelves in my neck of the woods. I plan to build several later this year for sell, if the factory ammo is going to stay in stock, I think I should be able to sell them pretty good. I am getting excited about building them.

I am at 1100ft elevation 1&7.5 twist in my 6mm Texan @3130fps will stabilize 115gr Bergers just fine I have had it to 1200yds. My 6mm creedmoor 1&8 twist will stabilize them to 1200 as well @3050fps

If you're in SW Indiana did you check with Whittakers in Owensboro?

How far away are those Predators? Maybe I can call their store and ship them west to my FFL?
