Anyone shooting a 6CM yet??

[pa hog]

A friend of mine is a well known Gunsmith, he is building and shooting a 6mm Competition Match. They claim up to 3000+ rounds of match grade accuracy!! This has been proven by well known shooters, but the round does require a throat maintenance regimen. Just wondering if there are any built on some Savage actions around. The parent cartridge is a 243Win, I've heard of group in the 1's just fire-forming.
W/H1000 and 115DTACS they are around 3000FPS without pushing it.

No 6CM here.but have been running a 6XC (6mm/250) for many yrs....

38-39 gr charges of H4350 does wonders with 107 SMKs

yep had one for about 5 years now love it 115 DTACS running 3000-3100 fps. I only have about 1700 thru mine but my friend has over 3700 and still holding less than 1/2 MOA at 800 yrds. yep David Bruno chambered both of our Model 12 Single Shot Savages with a Krieger barrel
200 yard fire forming

Teele1, how long is your barrel to get those velocities?

After doing some reading on the cartridge, your name was mentioned in a few forums.

Are there any more people who are chambering this round?

I've got a 27" Krieger on my Savage action. David Bruno, Chad Dixon Heck I've even heard Dave Kiff even shoots a 6CM
I was doing some load testing last week and it was hard to pick a load between 48.7 and 49.9. They all shot about less than 5/8 vertical at 200 yards at 2.870OAL. no pressure signs at all No hard bolt lift or flattened primers



great read on the information on the 6CM listed on Long Range Hunting "PAHOG" referenced
Joe Hendricks has really done a great job on this cartridge

love my 6CM
