Anyone run a 6mm cartridge from a Defiance Rebel?

[Winny94]

I have a buddy parting out an incomplete build and the action is a Stryker Ridge from Defiance (essentially a Rebel). Who runs a 6mm cartridge from one? Which cartridge? Any feeding issues?

I'm considering a 6mm something for a light recoiling 1000yd rifle, but not sure which direction to go yet, and I may grab that action if it feeds one of them well.

I have buddies shooting 6 creedmoor with zero issues out of that same action.

I had a 243 in one, it was melonited and probably the smoothest action I've ever ran.

Yea, I haven't heard of any action having issues running the 6 creed. I'm interested in the dasher for that little extra barrel life

243 works well for me in one

We have built a lot of 6mm rifles on Defiance actions. This rifle is a 6 Creedmoor but we've built a lot of 6XCs, 6 Dashers, .243s and even some 6BRs on Rebel and Deviant series actions. Most have been with Manners and McMillan or MPA chassis systems, Most of the rifles are fed from AI-pattern (to include Accurate Magazine) mags. Everything feeds very well. If you want to build a 6mm on a Defiance action, I think you'll be super happy with it.
