6mm X 45 / 6mm-223 ??? in my AR-15
« on: January 08, 2006, 12:40:01 PM »
I am considering building a 6mm-223 upper for my AR-15 and have 1000's of 223 brass to play with.  I have found all of the components to build this cal upper for my AR's but have never had any experience with the 6mm-223.

Is there any noticable gain with this cal over the standard 223.  Currently I use 55 to 70gr loads for target and varmints in the 223.  I am looking for this as just a little bit better coyote getter with a 55 to 70gr V-Max load. If my research is correct I should gain a bit of velocity with the 6mm loading.

and besides I don't have one and I have perfected the loads for my current rifles so I need a new one to work with.
