6mm crusader

[klayton83]

they are talking about this chamber on a lot of other forum and i was wondering if anyone on savage shooters has done this yet and if it would fit into the new sss mag that is out (the one with the bottom metal). i have a 6mm br with a bell and carlson medalist stock and the bottom metal and mag from sss. i might want to rechamber to this because i am having so much feed reliability issues even after i installed the sss ejector. any thoughts would be good.

Im not familiar with 6 crusader but 20 or more years ago ther was a group of short magnums called crusader by a gunsmith o connel ,im still using a6.5 crusader basically a 6.5 rem mag 40 deg sh

[klayton83]

No this is a 6 mm rem smashed down with 30 degree shoulders. It can push a 115dtac at about 3150. And it fits nicely into an aics mag

is that the main difference between the 6 rem and the 6 crusader? or is there more?

Can it be built on a standard 110 short action sf

[klayton83]

Yeah it is shorter than a 6mm and a touch longer than 243. The point is maxing out the 6mm in a short action and still using 115dtac and running through the accuracy international mag.

Been doing some reading on this really like the sounds of it.

[calib]

ill have to do some reading on it. i love the 6mm's and would like to stay with them, just need to find a cartridge. do you have any data on it?

[klayton83]

I have a sss mag and i think that it would be to long for it buy if you had the cdi bottom metal you could go this route.
