Not sure how this enters the discussion Sure you do. You want to discuss 243 based 6mm chamberings then someone comes along with a chambering that's the wrong action wrong case and who knows if he even read the original post?

I am thinking of putting a rifle together based off the .243 Winchester case. Something lighter recoiling than my 6.5-284 and a true short action round. Two that intrigue me are the 6mm Competition Match and the Super LR.
Anyone have any experiences with either of these or any other match-inspired 6mm wildcats?
Thanks Dennis, I don't think you were really clear in your opening post..."based off the 243 Winchester case" leaves a lot for interpretation  And what's the top three on your list now?

Dennis,have you give thought to a .22/243 with a fast twist? No-the 22 bullets are poor ballistically and not the best killers. I am now rethinking my reluctance to use the 6x47L as dies and brass are easily found as opposed to special dies that I have to buy from the guy who put his name on it. mid to high 500 bc is poor?

There is only one weight of bullet that has a decent BC and that is the 90 grain. It requires a 7 twist and if my rifle doesn't like that bullet there is no place to go. Besides, 22s foul easier (in my experience) than the bigger calibers. Just a lot of reasons I am not interested in a 22. The 6mm bullets are so much better for most of what I want to do.

Well a Catbird isn't possible to make from a 243 case. I was thinking the ones mentioned and possibly just a straight change to a 30° shoulder. Because the CM has the short neck and the Super has proprietary everything, I ordered dies and brass for 6x47L instead. Should lose a few fps in velocity but hopefully pick up a little advantage in accuracy with the good brass for that parent case and the small primer.
