"FAIR WARNING!" The Sako 6PPC USA is slightly larger, and will not fit in most current match chambers, for the 6PPC... READ the Barrel of your Firearm! if your shooting! If you put a 6mmPPC-USA in a 6PPC Match Rifle, it may fire when you close the bolt! The 6MM PPC, not the 6mm PPC USA was developed by Dr. Louis Palmisano and Ferris Pindell, he 6PPC is the "King " in short-range benchrest competition, and the most accurate cartridge ever invented. As a Wildcat Cartridge (for benchrest use) from the 220 Russian case, which
is a variation of the 7.62 x 39mm (M43) Soviet military cartridge.
PPC = Palmissano, Pindell, Cartridge. Sako of Finland began turning out commercial bolt action rifles and supplying loaded
ammunition late in 1987, which turned the definition of the Wildcat Cartridge into a
proprietary cartridge.
It is one of the best competitive benchrest cartridges today.
Ruger offered a rifle and Norma offered factory ammunition in 1993 but, to the best of my knowledge, no one is currently producing factory ammunition.
This makes this cartridge an obsolete proprietary cartridge |
