I tried to buy dies today and Redding wouldn't sell them for the 6mm Super LR- said I have to get them from Robert Whitley.

What's the matter with a plain Jane .243?

Dennis,
I have heard rumors that the .243 works real well when necked up to .30 caliber, but it doesn't seem to be what you're looking for. (Have heard it kicks pretty hard.... :-)

What's the matter with a plain Jane .243? Neck is short and it makes it tough to switch between the various target bullets to get them close to the lands and still have idea bullet seating depth. I like long necks and 30° shoulders

Or even a .263 Express, which Ken Waters developed in 1956, the year after the .243 Winchester appeared, and a long time before Jim Carmichel came up with the 6.5 Panther. The .263 Express was also simply the .243 necked up to take 6.5mm bullets.

Ok, Google and Yahoo confirm that there is a 6.5 Panther, but they tell me nothing about it. What is the parent case??

I already have a 260 and 260 AI, I want a 6mm. The 6mm Creedmoor is probably a good one too.

I really like the 6creed so far. Like mule deer mentioned it's similar to 250AI case. Not as close as I thought it would be but similar for sure.

The 6.5 Panther was commercially adopted as the .260 Remington with very little changes.
