1996 . It is based on the6mm BR Remington cartridge, although where Remington's cartridge was intended for bullets of about 70 grains, Norma standardized their set of chambering specifications for a very low drag (VLD) bullet of over 100 grains, thus realizing the long-range capabilities of the cartridge. This resulted in a much longer neck on the Norma cartridge.References
