[QUOTE="dun, post: 53836, member: 34"] The .244 is the same except for bullet weight and twist. The original .244 (brought out by Rwmington to 1 up Winchesters .243) didn't stablize a bullet some say over 90 grains, I never even got 85 grains to stabilize. Since the bullets under 100 grains then were strictly light jacketed for use on varmints, the .244 didn't work on deer. So Remington renamed it the 6mm Remington and started putting a faster twist in there barrels. Just like magic it worked for deer AND lighter bullets for varmints, just as Winchester had done in the first place. But the 6mm Rem will stabilize 105 grain bullets better then then any .243 Winchester that I've had. I had Ruger #1 heavy varmint in .244 and my wife has a 700 in 6mm Remington. The 6mm may be a compromise, but it's a good one. Although based on the ages of the people that respond to the age thing, I'm not shooting anything that has come along since they were born. dun [/QUOTE]
