Can someone fill me in on teh 6BR round?

[Guest Appalachian]

I seen a handi rifle someone had done into a 6BR, the first 6BR i had seen and it looked like it mite make a good coyote round, he said it was very accurate and showed me a target witha 3 quarter inch group and I'm think'n thats why they traded it in on something else.

He told me it was built to shoot compatitions with but I dont think it shot good enuff to fool with, it was interest'n round to me tho and was hope'n some one here could enlighten me about it, as far as accuracy, available hunt'n bullets, and reload cost.

Thankx for any info.

can you still buy loaded 6mmBR ammo? i know that is still strong in high power type shooting.

and i would say a handi rifle in 6mm BR would be very rare.

I've had sevral handi rifles and the barrel on the ^br he had didnt look factory to me, it was a entirely different cotour and shorter, I dont see why someone want'n to shoot comptition would try and compete with a break action gun to begin with, like I said I've had sevral and they shoot good for a while then the accuracy fades away, my guess it has somethin to do with teh hinge pin and/or head space'n.

Oh yeah...thanx guy for the input.
