6 mm PPC

The 6mm PPC (Palmisano & Pindel Cartridge) is a rifle cartridge developed in the 1980s by Ferris Pindell and Dr. Louis Palmisano. It is a centerfire, bottlenecked cartridge with a bullet diameter of .243 inches (6.17mm) and a case length of 1.520 inches (38.6mm).The 6mm PPC was designed as a precision cartridge for use in benchrest shooting competitions. It is capable of firing light bullets at high velocities with exceptional accuracy and consistency, making it a popular choice among competitive shooters who demand the highest levels of precision.The cartridge's short, fat case design allows for efficient powder burn and consistent ignition, resulting in excellent accuracy and low recoil. It is also known for its mild report and low muzzle blast, which makes shooting more comfortable and allows for better observation of bullet impacts at long range.Although the 6mm PPC is primarily used in benchrest competitions, it is also suitable for varmint and predator hunting. However, it may not be ideal for larger game due to its relatively light bullet weight and limited energy.Overall, the 6mm PPC is considered one of the most accurate and consistent rifle cartridges available, and it has a loyal following among benchrest shooters and other precision shooters who value its performance and reliability.
