Anyone else use one? I am having a difficult time finding ammo for it. Anyone else been able to find any?
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

I sold mine to a friend and reload for him. Very good and accurate caliber capable of taking anything you will find in Texas.

My dad had one. Shoots great. Killed a deer and hog with it. But ammo was always rare. I imagine it's non existent now.

Love it. I have a Model 7 that I killed my first deer with, as did my brother and my wife.

I'm struggling with my daughter though, because she's much more confident with my AR that the 6mm and she wants to shoot a deer now.

And I haven't had any issues finding ammo. I have a few boxes right now, but I try to buy some when I see it.

I have had one for about 50 years. Ammo was a little hard to find before the craziness started. There was a place in my hometown that seemed to have it more frequently than other places. Not sure if it's still open.

I got a 6mm Rem for my 10th birthday. It's the most accurate rifle I own. I haven't seen ammo in some time, so I'm rationing what I have. Glad I bought 5 or 6 boxes last time around. I think I'm down to about 2 boxes.

opticsandammo.com appears to have it. It is pricey though

It was my only hunting rifle from age 14 to around my early thirties. Great rifle. In between ammo panics I bought around 250 rounds and that will probably last me forever since I mostly shoot .30-06 and .308 now.

I have 2 rifles in 6mm Rem, and I haven't been able to find much ammo for them for years. Pretty much Remington and Federal are the only two that were making much ammo, and it never seems to be in stock anymore. I have a lot of brass and will start reloading my own as soon as I get the garage setup so I have a space to setup my press.

Lots of claims all over that the site is a scam. I would order from there with extreme caution based on what I just read.

Thanks for the info. I did not dig into the details of that site.

Been shooting one for 30+ years
Ammoseek.com is your friend

Check back every couple of days. It is like MetaCrawler for ammo. I found my 6mm, .222, and the last reasonable 30-30 on there. They have an app you can use for repeated searches

Site is a total scam. There's a 39 page thread on 24hourcampfire.com discussing the long, sordid history of the guy. Much to everyone's delight, he's currently in jail awaiting a hearing, but somehow the site is still up.

You must look a lot more often than me. I check every other day or so, and have never seen 6mm there.

6mm Creedmoor is best 6mm

Great cartridge. Get a press.

When I was buying my 6.5 creedmoor I almost went 6mm CM. But I was worried about not find ammo easily. Now it is more available than 6.5 CM.

Never done anything with 6mm CM or heard much about it. But saw some yesterday at bass pro.

Love my 6mm. Received it from my grandpa when he passed away. It was his favorite deer rifle. I haven't seen ammo for it in a while. Sitting on 2 boxes and thinking about switching over to another rifle I can get ammo for.
