That's not bad at all, considering.Sorry so late responding, been on a 5 day hike/camping trip. I get around 1,000 to 1250 rounds before accuracy starts dropping off. 1 barrel usually last one prairie dog (try to get in 3 trips a year) / ground hog season and may make it till the end of gun season for whitetails.
Tag for later
I have a 6x284 3600fps with 66gr bullets excellent accuracy. Fast 55gr bullets sounds fun.
didn't see it mentioned, 240 hawk it's a 280 necked to 6mm.
A 280 is just a 30-06 necked to 7mm. That wildcat already exists, in the 6mm-06. It is a ballistic twin to the 240 Weatherby which is reasonably fast, but certainly not in the arena being discussed here.
The work on the 6mm and 270WSM hybrid has started. Action, stock, and barrels are ordered. The reamer is on order as well. This will be a really cool rifle when its done. Think we are going to call it the 6mmC4.
I don't think there is any reason to put a 6mm bullet in a larger case than this.
I'd be interested in knowing how many of those that disagree have actually owned one. The only reason I used a case that big was because I had a long action and thought it would be a waste of the long action to use a 6mm Remington AI.Obviously there are those here who disagree with your assertion as to how much case should be assigned to a 6mm bullet
For all intents and purposes, the 280 is a 30-06. The 0.050" amounts to no meaningful difference. Obviously there are those here who disagree with your assertion as to how much case should be assigned to a 6mm bullet, otherwise, this thread wouldnt exist.
Any news on the 6mmC4?
LR, I could care less about the 280 and 06 stuff. But I do agree with your signature. Glocks do suck. I never leave home without my 1911!
We actually changed the design and went back to the SAUM case. So this will basically be a 6mm4S. The little brother to the 6.5 4S that GAP developed. This was a collaboration with GAP and Copper Creek to come up with this speed demon. We are hoping for 3700-3800 with moderate pressures. We will see what happens. The stock is done, barrels are here, action is ready to go. Just waiting on the reamer to arrive!

Good thing this thread isn't about barrel life..244 H&H. H&H still chambers a rifle in it, iirc it's a .375 necked down to .243. I know you "don't care" about bbl life, but either way it's less than 400. I don't care what your intentions are, but less than 400 rounds won't last you a summer of shooting.
