So...If nostalgia is what your after with the 6 Rem then go for it! If performance is what you want I see dies available for the 6/284. 6-06, 240 Wby and the 6/300WSM - Have you consider one of these cartridges?
I don't reload these days, but around here 6MM cartridges are available. So if I stock up on them before I go out in the boonies, availability won't be a problem. I had a Mauser 98 in 6MM Rem years ago and sold it! Wish I had it back.
I don't want any of the wildcats or the expensive Weatherbys. Really the .243 will do all I need it to do, but really "need" rarely has anything to do with anything. I have been looking for a good Model 7 or Mohawk, but around here people are too proud of them! I'll probably end up with the 700 CDL SF, I just wanted to see if there were any other new guns chambered in the 6MM, other than custom rifles.
