6mm Remington Ammo For Sale
History of 6mm Remington Ammo
In 1955, the Remington Arms Company introduced the 6mm Remington. The 6mm was intended for varmint hunting. Many of its characteristics make it very effective for dispatching varmints of any size – including maintaining spot-on accuracy at ranges as far out as 400 yards, maintaining a velocity better than 1,000 feet per second with the 100 grain bullet (even as it sails past the 400-yard mark), and frequently making shots at 500 yards or more. Deer hunters have come to appreciate the 6mm Remington, as it performs very well on medium-sized game at distances beyond 300 yards.
