I was thinking about throating mine to your length but mine is shooting good as of now
Same. If we screw around too much with this cartridge it'll need a new barrel before we even kill anything with it lol. Not expecting decent barrel life whatsoever in mine

I have around 600 on my first one and it still shoots great! It is a sweet cartridge!

Is the general consensus that this will be about a 1k barrel life chambering? Thats what i figured would be the maximum but idk

You all made me cave and grab some 570 for my 6SST. Been breaking her in super gentle for the first 100 rounds before she gets wild! Made it to 66 rounds before I ordered some 570

Hahaha sweet! Yeah if you’re below a full case and reaching pressure with those faster burning powders, N570 could be pretty spicy in there 🙌🏼.

I have a love hate relationship with N570 for sure haha

Yes, my first 6 PRC was a .130/.140 freebore. It was excellent for the 105 hybrids and even the 108/109 bergers. But the 108 ELDM's sat a little deep in the case for my liking. They still shot fine though. With the .200 freebore, the 108 ELDM is touching the lands around 2.970" COAL and sits absolutely perfect in the case at .020 off and a COAL of 2.950"

I wanna know when somebody's gonna make a 120-125 grain 6mm bullet..
A .7 ish G1 would be incredible
I would assume that if that comes, it will be from a machined mono of some sort. I also would suspect that it could be too long for anything except the longest of reamer freebore... but who knows. im an idiot. dont listen to me

Berger has done a heavy for caliber EOL now with the 245, 195, and 156, they already have a 115 vld.
Please Jesus let the 6mm be next!
