    280/6mm

    Just wondering if anyone has done a 280 rem into a 6 mm? Would be deadly on varmits and deer. Thinking of getting one

    Din Collings has 6mm-06 and 6mm-06AI reamers. Could be good for investigating S.E.E

    Thanks but that didn't teach me anything. I was asking if he needed to have a 6mm caliber rifle for what he wants. Sound's like he wants something for pest control but wants to be able to shoot deer and I don't know if they are restricted on what they can shoot deer with hence why I am asking if he needs it to be 6mm.

    I know how it all works but when I see them I like asking about if there are other types of that I probably don't write it properly. It's hard putting what I mean onto paper sometimes
