6mm PPC
 

Does anyone have any experience with this round? Pros and Cons VS. the .243 Win?

Thanks

well the 6mm ppc is an uncommon cartridge to start, 243 is much easier to come by also the 6mm ppc has a muzzle velocity about 500 fps less than a 243 in the same weight projectile. Honestly you would have to really want a 6mm ppc to choose it over a 243. just my 2 cents

Well I don't REALLY want the the PPC, but I was looking at Accuracy Systems and theycan build Mini-30's in 6mm PPC, but not the .243. But I do want a 6mm caliber gun. And since I live in California I can't get an AR type rifle, so the Mini is the next best thing.

That above quote just cracks me up![8D] Right on.....the internet accuracy of Savages ...if true..... they would absolutely dominate hunter class BR :D

actually you can have a AR type gun in california just certain restrictions pertain and you are limited to certain accessories. you should check out Fab-10's at http://www.fabten.com/ they make totally kalifornia legal AR-15 rifles and accessories.

Yeah I know all about the California legal AR's. I'm going to build one in .223. But I can't get a CA legal .308 size lower. I could do a WSSM, but the upper alone is about $1300. Thats why I was looking at the Mini's.

The amount of experience and expertise you guys claim to have is laughable, just because you have the cash to buy a Kimber or Sako, doesn't make you a better hunter or shooter than anyone else.:D

This is interesing concept - as mentioned, the overwhelming use for this caliber is benchrest. I'm not sure you would want to set up a Mini 30 with the kind of chamber normally put in a BR gun. OK, I know you wouldn't want to . . . . But I would suspect you could get "minute of groundhog" accuracy out of a loose chambered 6MM-PPC; even in the sloppy Ruger action.

Although I know there are some highly modified Mini 14's and Mini 30's out there that can shoot fairly well, the design of the weapon is not very condusive to precision shooting. It's about as tight and true as an AK-47. Personally, I wouldn't waste that kind of money on a Ruger urban assault rifle.

The amount of inexperience that you show by writing that is whats laughable. Kimber or Sako was never mentioned. He actually said that it was a Remington 722. Its a BR rifle so its be trued. He never even said that he was a better hunter than you. he was simply commenting on the overabundance of "internet marksman" who constantly claim to have .5 MOA factory weapons which is total BS.
