14 thousandths difference...........
25 cal may be better, I would not argue that. I don't have, nor have ever owned a 25 caliber anything, so I could not rightly say. But, I was not intending to get into too heavy a range of boolits, so I chose the 6mm, and also because I have experience with, and own, one! :happy dance:
Good idea, but..............

Two GI's each with a couple 20 round mags could cut down a cement block house in a matter of about a minute. We lined up 8 five gallon pails full of water, the bullet stopped in the last one.
Retired before it even got started. Now its just an inexpensive and fun plinker.
They have "grenade" rounds, etc. for 12 ga. that can do that, and MORE. They probably wouldn't have wanted to add another link to the supply line for yours anyway. Best thing is you got the fun of build a toy for your retirement- like making your own pocket watch that they used to give everyone who "made it". :grin:
