6MM PPC rifles, worlds most accurate?
Are there any factory rifles still chambered for the 6MM PPC? Is this still considered the worlds most accurate round?

I too have wondered this, I have yet to find a factory rifle in this chambering, I guess we will have to keep looking, but I just don't think so, hope I am wrong. 0 -
From what the old timers tell me the 6mm PPC is the king from like 100 to 200 yard range and still is I believe. 0 -
the 6ppc is wicked. they are stil a mainstay of the varmint class benchrest competitions. You can possible order a rifle in that caliber,..but as no ammo is produced (or very little) by the manufacturers,..the chambering will be rare or non-existant. If pure accuracy is what you want,..then a gunsmith is a better avenue to get the caliber.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

Cooper Varmit Rifles in 6mm PPC would be the way I'd go for right around 1200.00
My old timer buddy has one and same hole groups is not rare at 100. But as Justin pointed out, ammo is rare and brass is pricey.
50 cents or more for good brass.0 -
Check out the SAKO line of rifles. I think they still make them. I know they did a few years ago. --- At last check the 6mm PPC still held over 300 World Records on the bench rest circut ( mostly at around 200yd range ) and was still generally considered the most accurate round availible, but it's not really a long range round. The 22 PPC is the same round necked down to 22 caliber and is a better varmit type round for general use but the case necks generally have to be turned.-- Not sure what your looking for...........Good Luck.......[8D] 0 -
Yeah, and this case is based on the 220 Russian target round, itself a developement of the 7.62 x 39 round. Is 22 PPC brass still available through midway? One of the 2 is considered obsolete, and for the life of me I cannot remember if it is the 22 or 243 PPC that has hit that particular wall. At any rate, I would look for the more common of the 2 and see what you find, as necking either up or down to that degree is pretty do-able, and you'll be neck turning either way.

Norma used to make the 6mm PPC brass but I don't know if they still do or not. To my knowledge they never made the 22 PPC brass ( and no one ever made factory rifles in the 22 caliber ) and it always had to be formed from the 6mm brass which required turning the necks. Most of the SAKO factory rifles in 6mm would shoot the Norma brass without turning necks( I had a SAKO heavy bbl stainless that shot it fine)like most custom guns with tight chamber throats..my two cents..........[8D] 0 -
The Remington 6BR is so close to being as accurate it's scary. The BR makes a better longer range cartridge than the PPC,and it's easier to find brass for.
I believe 6BR factory guns are available in different models [:)]
