Wise thinking.
1:8 twist in 6mm in a 6.8 case should do very well and not too different than the 6mmBR that must
be one of the most accurate and efficient calibers ever devised.
With a thinner case, smooth angle shoulder and popular bolts, is much better for autoloaders IMO.
A WASP or short hagar make it easy to get rolling with reamers and cut dies if needed but
I would stay away from the 30 degree angle in the shoulder and keep it simple.
6mm Back-Out... So simple even a caveman could do it. lol
Ok, I've been wondering this for quite some time, and but am new to this and didn't want to ask a
stupid question, and I'm wondering why this could not be a solution to the dip **** bolt patent fiasco.
My thoughts....
the outside diameter of 308 brass is .467, plenty small enough to clear a 6.8 receiver lug,
(about .565 on my yote smoker barrel anyways,) and the OD -of the inside of the rim neck-
on 308 brass, is .392, again, smaller than the .415 rim size of 6.8 brass. I talked to an individual
that is in rifle brass manufacturing, and he said there should be no problem with rebating 308
brass to operate with a 6.8 bolt.
