No love for the 6mm Remington or 6mm AI?



THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.

6.5x47L brass has been typically, wonderful; coupled with a small rifle primer has great potential for and efficient, accurate round. I have read several places where folks claim 243 Winchester velocities. Powder capacity is 6 or 7 grains less. Just not going to happen. I am still waiting to see what the accuracy side of it is. I shot a total of ONE group that all cases had the same powder charge. The rest were half grain increments to see the VELOCITY potential and try two new powders (to me). The rifle had a very well used, cheap-ass Simmons scope on it. Conditions were very blustery. I can't even begin to judge how well this particular rifle will shoot.

I am optimistic that the cartridge will be good to me. Not as much confidence in a $30 Shaw close-out barrel on an old Savage with a $30 scope.

Blue- there is lots of good data for the 6.5x47L, not so much for the version necked down to 6mm.

Dennis, the 6x47 I recently sold averaged 2956, 105 Amax over RL26, 22.75" barrel.

I checked my notes and my 243AI that I recently sold, averaged 3018, 105 Amax over RL22, 22.5" barrel.

My 243 donor for the AI above averaged 3005, 105 Amax over RL26, 24" barrel.

Out of a 22" barrel I believe it's a tie.

Rio,

accurate is accurate, speed is speed, some time you can get both in the same load, but if you can't i will take accurate every time. RIO7

I'll have to look but I think I was getting 2950 with 100 Hornady interlocks with a 24" barrel. Maybe that was the over-pressure load.

I have heard stories of 4100-4200 fps with 55 grain ballistic tips in the 243 but I couldn't get over about 3800 with this rifle

I got to 3600 with the 65 grain V-max bullets.
