Plain and simple - accurate as hell, mild recoil and a sh*t ton of outstanding bullets to choose from. Thats the up side...
Downside - it's a notorious barrel burner and considered and overbore cartridge - brutal on throats. 2000 rds?? Thats 25% into your second barrel.
Look at all the other "accurate" 6mm's - 6X, 6XC, even the 6 x 22-250 only uses 30-32 grains of powder to get in the upper 2800-2900 velocity range.
Most 243 loads use 30% more powder that the 30-32 and achieve the same velocities.
There are a lot of far better, more efficient 6mm's out there than the old 243.
