You're making me feel a LOT better about my choice. A buddy of mine and I have been shooting 6 mm WOA for about 3 years now. It has a longer neck and is designed more for the longer, heavier, higher BC bullets. I have a 16" BHW 6 x 6.8 barrel in the safe that I am getting ready to spin on. I chose the 6 x 6.8 in a shortish configuration because I want to run a suppressor with 58 gr V-Maxs in a nimble platform and as a truck gun. Should be FAST and great for coyote/varmint hunting.
