I had one built years ago, on a R700 action, but sold it. I shot a few PDs with it. It’s more than needed for PDs. It would make a great coyote round, or medium/short range deer cartridge with the right bullet and shot placement.

Yes...
We built 19 of them about 6-7 years ago... ARs and 700s

Yup sure have and do.
First one was a Remington 700, then I got an AR upper and now just have my wife's. It's a left handed mini Mauser that was barreled by McGowan.
She's killed deer and antelope with hers, what would you like to know? I'm no expert but I've played with them over the last 15 years or so

I have considered it because it would be VA-legal, but am probably going to buy an upper in 7.62x39 for simplicity's sake

I ended up with two of them. One I had built, a Ruger Mini 14 rebarreled by Accuracy Systems. The other is a mini Mauser I picked up to replace one of those I lost in the PacNor fire.
I built the mini 14 as a calling rifle. Eventually I’ll build something on the mini Mauser.
I have done some limited load development with both. Either would make a good coyote/deer rifle. The mini 14 is a lot of fun to shoot.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

It's a good round and a friend of mine is building AR's in the 6x45. The 6mm Beggs Russian is good as well. I built a 220 Beggs Russian on a Rem.700 action that's fun to shoot and easy to load.

I had a 6 TCU and 6x47 and now run the 6 TCU successor, the 6mm Mongoose in an 18" AR, barrel is by Mad Dog Weapons Systems. The 6 Mongoose is a 223 shortened .050 and blown out with a 40 degree shoulder, 31 grains H2o capacity, shoots .3" with 80 grain FBSPs over 844, the bulk version of H-335. At 3k the 80 grain does not fully penetrate a yote. But the shortened, blown out case does well with 95-100s in the AR-15 mags.

I've built 5 on ar15 frames, 4 on savage actions.
Very accurate, hardly any recoil, pal has a 6x45, ar15 I built for him yrs ago for his night rig.
I have a savage build.
Darn things just stack bullets on top of each other no matter the load.
Drop antelope, deer with ease, never had to use a second round. Great for pdogs, coyote, antelope, deer, 55g to 85g.
Farthest goat shot was 345 yards, closest was 30 yards, drop on the spot.
Did I make you cry......boooo hooo, life goes on.

Been working with one on a Savage Action, I've been working with. There is a thread on it I started down in the Reloading Section, Varmint Rifles. Got loads I've chronographed posted.
Plan on using this upcoming deer season. Thinking 90 to 105 grain bullets.
