Is anyone messing with the 6mm Improved anymore? I scored a pile of 6.5x57 brass new last week and it works in my 6mm Rem after FL sizing just fine. Im thinking aboiut going with a new build and doing a 6mm Improved. tell my why I shouldn't
 
I had a Browning B 78 re-barreled with a Brux in 6mm AI. Haven’t shot it as much as I would like. RL 26 seems to be the powder to use from what I have read, but it’s unobtainable.
 
6mm AI was one of my first wildcats, and is the only one I still have.

I start will 7x57 and run it in the 6mm FL sizer. Fireform with cream of wheat, then neck turn.

I have a tight neck chamber, so I have to turn before loading and firing a full load.

Quite a bit of work, but I like the process...

It's a hunting rifle that doesn't even get used every season, so the original batch of 50 pcs will likely last my lifetime.
