This cartridge is a hybrid combining the positive aspects of both the 6XC and the 243. I have one built as below.
A Savage Model 12 action, a 6mm 1-7 1/2 Krieger barrel chambered by David Bruno in 6CM. Farrell 20MOA base with Leupold PRW rings and a Weaver T24 scope. Shoots .243 Winchester brass to fire formed with Sierra 107s on top of 46.0 gr. H1000. Then the fire formed brass is loaded with DTAC 115s over 49.0 gr. H1000 with CCI BR2. The 115 DTACS have a .575 to .585 BC and cost only 95.00 per 500. This is in a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock. This rig shoots better than I can and still competes. I shoot it 600 to 1000 yards. It was reasonable to build and is reasonable to shoot accurately and has great barrel life. I think I have $1500.00 total invested. Thanks Joe Hendricks for the 6CM.
