The .244 Rem was Remington's 6mm released in 1955 before Winchester came out with the .243. Skipping over the historical bits, hunters favoured the .243 as it could be bought with 100gr bullets, and rifles with a faster twist rate, where the .244 Rem was sold with nothing bigger than an 87gr, and the rifles twist rate limited to that size bullet. Remington decided they'd made a mistake, and re-released it a few years later and renamed it the 6mm Remington, with 100gr load options and new rifles with a faster twist rate. It was too late though, the .243 was the market favourite and the 6mm Rem fell out of favour, except for people who love obscure shit like me.

Sorry OP, off on a tanget there...
