Hey y'all!
A buddy of mine recently found some 6mm Remington ammo that someone left behind, and when he asked me about it I thought he was mistaken.
6mm? Certainly he meant 7mm... or 8? But he is a precise, detail-oriented fellow so I figured he must have found something I'd never heard of. Sure enough, he found six boxes of what looks like a great cartridge. A long case that looks like it has lots of zip especially considering the caliber of the slug. Looks like a faster, flatter-trajectory version of a .243 or something.
Seems like something like this would really have caught on, but I had never even heard of it before.
Anybody have one of these that can describe its characteristics and if there are various makes and what they're like?
BTW, anyone interested in the ammo can look for a post of mine in the Trading Post - Accessories.
Thanks!
