:yeah:
I keep going back to the 6X45 idea.
I handload and love 6mm pills.

If you like the 6mm, look into Black Hole Weaponry's 6mmX6.8 SPC barrels.  That's going to be my next AR build.  :tup:
Part of the appeal is resizing .223 Rem brass, which is everywhere and the same bolt.
Really, just a barrel and dies.

Same thing with the 6.8 SPC--If you already have one!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

Requires new bolt.

Not if you already have a 6.8 SPC.  Same case.  I emailed and asked Black Hole that specific question.  Not that it matters to me--I'm getting another bolt and carrier in 6.8 SPC anyway.

I just want to run a larger bullet on the same case/bolt/magazine setup I already own.

Same here--only I want to run a smaller bullet on the same case/bolt/magazine setup I already own.  :tup:

To paraphrase "Tim the Tool Man":  MORE POWDER!  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

:chuckle: Funny, but I think Tim would be trying to fire a 30mm out of it or maybe something you would normally fire from a M1 tank.
