I love this cartridge. Have shot a few rounds, a light rifle is a real handful, not to mention the punishment to your shoulder.


Planning on building another. Have all the parts: Action, barrel, reamers, dies, cases, bullets, stock, sights. Will not be soon as I have a few other rifle projects to finish.

I will throw up some photos later. The barrel is a No. 6 Pac Nor. Calculated rifle finished weight will be around 11 pounds.

If you think bullets for your 6mm are expensive, try to buy some 510 Grain Woodleighs. I have a good stash, been buying 50 cal bullets for years. 10 years ago, they were much cheaper and available.

You real elephant hunters chime in, where would you aim for a brain shot? I am guessing first wrinkle down. Head is pretty erect and vertical.
