Question Maybe not small enough a caliber

If 6mm is not an appropriate caliber for this forum, I'll gladly pull this post.

Default The 'lil 6mm

Harold, 6mm's are cool! If you get any flack, I will draw them off your trail by posting something about 7mm's!

I probably shoot more 6mm's than anything else. Mostly 6mm dashers. I've got 4 of them Also have/had 6x45, 6-47Lapua , and a few 243's. Building a 6-284 too. Is your's a prone gun or a BR gun?

The only way that gun could get better is if it was in 6.5mm pushing 140 gr bullets. better wind deflection higher BC. But that's my bias. I to have gotten away from large magnum cases. Settled on a medium size case and bore for all of my needs bigger then varmints.

Harold, I know you are looking for information (aren't we all) but, I have a question for you. Tell me more about your 'coned' bolt face. I have not come across this before, unless by another term. TIA

Harold are you modifying the factory bolt by cutting a chamfer to the front of the lugs or are you using Kiff cone nose bolt? When I took Jerrys class on chambering at Rochester back in the mid 70's he told us it was possible to cut a 30* chamfer to a factory bolt and cut the same angle in the breech of the barrel. I just never seen it in person. If you did, could you show the bolt nose, I'd like to compare it to what he drew out for us. Thanks

Yep, that's it. Did you use 30*? Thanks Harold.
