I am considering building a Mini 14 in 6mm TCU or 6.5 TCU. Is there anyone on the site that has experiance with the Mini conversion? As an old steel moover I am very framiliar with the TCU series but have very limited experiance (7 TCU only) with the TCU rifles and particulary the Mini barreled in the 6x223 or 6 TCU.
Best,
Ed

RR,

I have to ask... What kind of groups did you get with the PPC and that action? The most accurate rifle I ever fired was a bench gun in 6mm PPC. Just wondering if that carried over to the mini...

I've 3/8's groups at 100 pretty often with very little load developement, I just used a book max charge of 322 behind a nosler 55 gr BT, shot a few and called it good for just a carry varminter it does me fine.
