Model 7 rebarrel

[muleystalker]

I like the 6mm's and a 6 Dasher would be great as would a 6 Creedmoor, either would do nice. The 6.5 Creedmoor would do great in the mod 7 as would a 6.5x47L. But a nice compromise would be a .25x47L with the Berger 133 or 135's, it real looks like a great performer and I can see one in my future.

Another vote for the 6 XC.

Consider the mag length of the short action. Many of these cartridges mentioned are at max MAGAZINE length and can not get near the lands. With the shorter 6 XC length, which is the same as a 22/250, you have plenty of room in the mag box, and surprisingly, achieve the same velocity as a 243. Peterson brass is superb, to say the least.

It is really nice to have room in the mag box to chase the lands as the leade grows over time.

I have two 6 XCs, one 8 twist, 28", where I shoot the 105g Berger(3100 fps-H4350-R#17-3175fps), and the other a 24", 12 Twist hart where I shoot the 70g TNT at 3700 fps into the 2's, with 3800 being the max load with groups in the very high 1s and low 2s with AA2230 and Rem 9 1/2s in Peterson brass.

"achieve the same velocity as a 243" ( with ability to shoot longer high bc bullets with more bearing surface = longer necks =better barrel life = less powder = more tolerant to bullet jump) oh, and better case life = srp. It IS the ideal mid size cartridge!
