    I am excited to try these in the 80 grain 6mm flavor

    Which 6mm cartridge!?

    I run a 243 because I have the brass and dies. My friend built a 6cm and he is shooting 87 v max pretty fast and accurately. If I reloaded and was starting from scratch I would highly consider the 6CM. If you need to walk into a store and buy ammo, the 243.

    Legal Idaho Bullet recommendation

    No excuses would be my first choice. My second would be parker traditional hunters. Fury and Thor make a full bore 50 cal too

    Knight secondary safety

    6.5 creed or 6mm for coyotes?

    My friend started with a 6.5 shooting 95 grain vmax. It did fine but for longer shots a 243 or 6 creed with a 70-90 grain bullet shoots flatter. We are all switched over to 243 or 6 creed in my group of friends.

    Advice about a Rem 700ml

    I upgraded my 700 ML with the badger ridge and it shot awesome with BH209 and Barnes 250 grain TEZ. If you want to go smokeless one day you can still use the bolt nose if you want to use a 209 ignition. I had an encore with a terribly rusted barrel. It shot fine still and I killed several...
