I saw a older 700 bdl heavy barrel, in 6mm rem. From what I can see, the throat isnt in bad shape. Was wondering if anyone had one, and how did it shoot? Many thanks for any remarks

Can't help ya there brother...but I'm sure someone here will chime in.

I only know what I have read in articles...never even shot a rifle in 6mm Remington, but from what I have read the 6mm Rem. is an accurate round. I know what you mean about throat erosion though. One of the articles I read was written by Boddington, and I pay attention to his work, was talking about the 6mm wearing out the barrel, at the throat. I wish I had "hands on" experience to share here, but I don't.

Thanks guys, I like the more oddball rounds. Everyone goes for the 243, I was thinking about this as a coyote project rifle. Its marked , 6mm rem, so it has the 1 in 9 twist barrel. I have some parts like a tacops bolt handle, and a 20 moa base, that would go into the project. Something to tinker with, but first I would want to know that it shoots.

If isn't going to be as good as, say, a .260 Remington for long range stuff. But that 6mm rifle can most likely do some pretty good shooting and when the barrel gets shot out you can choose from a wide array of popular cartridges for which to re-barrel it.

Have you checked into ammunition availability? Might be kinda a problem.

Nitesite, I was thinking the exact thing, after the barrel is done, I still have a short action rem 700 receiver. Ammo, not a issue, I have 200 cases, and I located a set of dies( I dont get rid of anything). I have rifles that have never had a factory round through them

Well fellas, thought I would give a update, something kept me from throwing down the cash on the 6mm. I went in today to look it over again, and noticed down the rack a short action bdl. So I thought I would check it out, turns out its a standard weight 22250 with a older redfield scope. 500 out the door, and I looked through the lockers in the "cesspool", as the boss calls it. I have a ton of reloading components for, and a set of dies. So im gonna tear it apart tomorrow
