Last fall I saw where Mike Milli(DTech)was taking the 6.8SPC and simply necking to 6mm and it was called the 6mm DTI. I spoke with him about it and asked what it would do compared to my 6X45mm. Well after I listened to his reasoning that it was a niche cartridge between the 6X45mm and the 243 WSSM I told him that I was in for one knowing full well it might take a while as behind as he was. Well guess what showed up last Tuesday.... A 22inch Shilen Select 1/12 twist 6mmDTI along with some dies and SSA 6.8SPC brass. It did not take long for me to make some ammo(very simple) and get to the range shoot a few rounds, check the speeds on couple of loads and realize Mike has a winner here.I probably need to add that you do fire-form the brass which changes to shoulder angle but as I have found in the TAC 20 it shoots the same speed-wise and accuracy-wise so you can go kill stuff while fire-forming.
Here is the first of what I hope to be many victims shot Thursday night under a full moon.... the load was 80gr Sierra Blitz loaded with VV530 traveling 3265fps.
I did not take pictures of the first few groups I shot but they all were between 1/2 to 3/4 inches at 100/200yds both. I went this morning thinking I would catch the wind calm and get a picture of a few groups... well there was a thunder storm off to the NE and the winds were gusting right into my face as I was trying to shoot so my groups were all vertically strung ( that's my excuse and you have my permission to use that if you ever need to)
anyhow... here is a picture of the worst groups I have gotten so far!
