It's easy to meet or exceed factory 6mm specs in a 243 Ackley. I stuck mine in a standard-length action, 25" sporter weight barrel, and have been running cartridges around 2.95". 3300 with 103's has been a snap, and I could likely get same with 115's with the right powder.


And it's easy to meet or exceed the .243 Ackley with a 6mm Ackley, yadda, yadda, yadda! eek
