Thank you Ron, I of course was not meaning to imply that a 6mm Rem. and a 243 were the same round, only that they were similar in capability.
After re-reading my original post it is clear that that inference could be made.

Again, thanks for clarifying.


Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.
