Thread: 6mm 204

What was the purpose of developing this round?
Was it just for fun, or trying to get similar ballistics to a 243 but with less powder so longer barrel life?

Can the barrel twist handle so of the bigger target bullets?

It was a cockup by the reamer maker, was supposed to be 224-204 so they made 244-204 & I never picked it up....

It has a 1-10 twist so I'm not sure how they would go, I have only shot the 75-87s in it.

The 87s shot so well I didn't look at anything else, the couple of pigs I shot weren't at all happy not that they knew what hit them

It isn't that much slower than the 243 & the barrel life would probably be more than doubled ?
