rocky your thoughts 6mm250(internat)

[Evan03]

i need to do something with my 22/250 thats shot out and i want a custom.

came across some load info for the 6mm250 this evening. id like to push bullets in the 70-95gr range maybe 60s to.

what do you think about blowing the case out since its a wildcat anyways would that be worth while.

are there reamers out there, i havent seen the blwon out version listed anywhere.

im gona see what rcbs has on there website right now.

thanks
Evan

I'm pretty sure a 6/250 Improved would be a new cartridge. Maybe not - there are almost no ideas that haven't been tried by SOMEBODY.

But, it would be an expensive thing to make. You'd likely need a custom reamer and a set of custom dies. I'd guess you'd be in it $300 to $400 before you ever bought the barrel blank.

In the end, a blown out 6/250 would be -- a 243.

You'd be bushwhacking a new trail to a place where they've already run a four-lane highway.

The 6-250 is a popular round among the long range shooters like high power and others. They have trouble with the .243 burning out barrels too fast, so they came up with the 6-250, which has about the right bore to powder capacity, without a lot of recoil, and still be supersonic with heavy match bullets at a 1000 yards. But other than that, what rocky says.

[Evan03]

boys i think this is a go,

http://www.pac-nor.com/wildcat/

hmmmmmmmm

or just rebarrel in 6mmrem be done with it then dont fire form or any of that cool stuff.

what to do
thanks

The regular 6mm Remmy might be a bit long for a 22-250 action - or the magazine.

If you don't pick a wildcat, a 243 will fit perfectly.

[Evan03]

thinking about blowing out 243 case.

any merit to this other than not every other hunter out there has one.


im in a buig reloading kick so ammo wont be a problem

The 284 case would require that you open the bolt face up, I would save that money for my next gun.
Acouple of quick thoughts for you. The larger the bore the faster you can push a bullet of a given weight. Example, With a .22-250 you can push a 69 gn. bullet to abt. 3,200 fps. With a .250 Savage, parent case, you can push a 75 gn. bullet to 3,400 fps. I think you would be better pleased with a .257 imp. than a 6mm on that case. If you`re looking for one that really yells custom, how about a .20- BR. I think they also chamber that one. If you go that way I would recomand that you go with a fast twist for the 50 gn. Bergers. The case head is ok for your bolt face and your case is very over bore for the .20 cal. so you should really have and honest 500 yrds coyote gun.

[Evan03]

for some reason 6mm is calling my name feircly.

20cal anything is no longer even a whisper in the breeze to me, no intrest there.

myabe just build it with another 22/250 barrel, i dunno. grrrrrrrr i realy dont mind havn the 220 and 22/250 side by side. kinda difrent rifle for difrent moods kinda thing.

Hi Evan,

Ackley did a .243 AI and it seems to work quite well. A friend in Missouri has one he built up on a Savage that used to be a 22-250 as the winds were blowing the .22 bullets around to much at 600 yards and effecting his groups and scores. His .243 AI has a Lija 3 groove barrel to resist throat errosion.

Evan,
You could always go with a 6 BR, there are lot of them used in bench rest compotion. If you really want to burn alot of powder go with the 6mm 06. It has abt 1.5 gn. H2O capisty than the .240 Weatherby and all you`ll have to do is screw in a new barrel. It will push 80 gn. bullets to abt. 3400 fps., but my .257 AI will push 85 gn, bullets to 3,500 with abt 1 gn. less powder. You could go with a 1 in 14 twist and push 60 gn. bullets to 3800 fps though. Just some more to confuse you.

[Evan03]

the 6mm06 has crossed my mind ounce or twice latley, but ive already got 2506 , hmmmmmmmm

but i also need a long action, my rifles in need of possible rebarrel is the 22/250.

maybe 6mm06 ackley

for some resan i want to blow a case out bad. i just think its cool.
