For those who don't know, the OP is the creator of the cartridge, and has been pimping it here for some time now. This post comes across as a bit of a shill post, if you ask me.
For Mr. Hendricks, you sure seem to use this forum to try and sell your product often, maybe you could at least become a site contributor, and IMO, you really should be a site sponsor if you want to continue your "selling."
Paul, if I am out of line, just delete this post.

Wow!!!
I am the creator of this cartridge and I have used this board and NationalMatch.us to get the word out about the expectations,initially) and now the results of this cartridge.
I am only making a few dollars on every chambering. I am working with David Bruno, a great gunsmith, and the prices we are selling his work at is what he prices the work to anyone who walks in the door to have work done. Dave, for lack of a better word, pays me for my effort in getting shooters to use his services.
I posted this after my customer called me and told me the story. I thought it to be comical.
The matches being shot, never had a restriction until my customers won 9 matches in a row,all information I'm getting not checked, but I have every reason to believe it is true) with my cartridge. It is possibly Lesley and company could have won these matches with another cartridge.
However, I am not pimping anything!
I developed this cartridge for my own use after 2 years of shooting the 6XC and being very disappointed with the barrel life,incredibly satisfied with the accuracy).
I have explained exactly what the cartridge is,so that anyone can make a reamer an copy it) and how to load for it and clean it in many post. I will not share the drawing as I put much time into it and I still have an agenda towards winning my own matches.
I don't know why the hundreds or thousands of other simular 6mm cartridges are not showing the same results on the target. Possibly it is more the shooter than the cartridge. Or possibly this cartridge has found a "sweet spot" in the 6mm realm. Either way this is all fun for me.
If you read this post I never put any contact information into the post nor did I tell anyone where or how to get a 6CM nor did try to sell anything at any time. Pimping would have required a big sell at the end of my post.
Also, you should notice that for,I'm guessing 6 months) I have not tried to sell anything. I’m done trying to get people interested in the 6CM. If you are you are and if you are not, maybe you will be later, or you are not. Regardless, my information is out there and you can find me.
I started all of this trying to prove a point. That a 6mm cartridge could shoot well over 3000 fps with a 107 or 115 and yield over 3000 round per barrel while being incredibly accurate. ,actual barrel life is yet to be determined as no one has shot out a 6CM barrel to date)
I've proven my point to many shooters.
So if people what to search me out and have David Bruno build them a great rifle or chamber a great rifle in 6CM they can find me.
Money was never a motivating factor in anything I’ve done or posted.
Honestly, the biggest motivating factor was that I was frustrated by my feeling people were wasting money and time on the 6XC due to barrel life and people shooting the 6BR in 600 yard and longer matches were wasting their money because of the ability to shoot at higher velocities with the same or better accuracy and better barrel life.
The only way to get people to start to understand that this idea works was to pound the boards with information and to provide a place to buy the cartridge.
Trying to explain myself is probably a waste of time, but I take great offence to you saying that I’m pimping the 6CM to make money.
I got into this mess to prove what I knew to be true and if I had never started this no one would know.
