6XC .100" short

[DanS]

I am planning on putting together another coyote/deer rifle, so it has to be a repeater. I also want it light weight. I will be using a suppressor, so the barrel will be 18-20" long. I may go with a 1-8 twist.

Right now I have a Kimber Montana that was a 243 win. My friend and I rechambered the factory barrel to a 6XC using my reamer. I believe it must be the newer reamer "cause I can use Norma 6XC brass.

I have a 6BR Lapua with a 1-8 Brux also and really love it. but it is a little heavy and has a longer barrel. I know how hard it is to get some rifles to feed the 6 BR, (Kimber Montana is my future build rifle). So I was thinking the 6XC reamer ran in .100" short would work great with rem or win 22-250 brass since it already has a smaller base diameter about .463" and it should feed, and I already own a 6XC reamer.

The 6x47 Swiss match looked pretty interesting also, but then I would have to get more dies, another reamer, and harder to make brass.

Any body here done this already? Any thoughts?

If its what you really want... a 6BR feeds fine from an AI mag if its built right. I have one. Also with a suppressor a pretty quiet with full power loads, just the bullet I hear. no rifle blast, pretty neat

Do they have a AI mag setup for the Kimber Montana? That is what I want to build on. Otherwise I would probably go with the Primal rights setup in a Rem 700 or my Stiller action, but I want it light.

CDI Gunworks makes a Kimber 84M bottom metal that accepts AICS mags. Inletting is usually free with dbm purchase. FYI
