Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan. Somewhere between lost and fou Spill the beans. It is a effort between George Gardner and Tom Jacobs. It is longer than a Dasher to the shoulder. It's longer neck. The Gay Tiger was born of an internet meme, and its same-sex partner. The novelty only increased when embraced by the entire community, and even head-stamped brass reading 6mm Gay Tiger was produced by Alpha Munitions.

Although starting as a joke on Sniper’s Hide, and the name sticking from then, the GT in 6mm GT does not stand for Gay Tiger, hahahaha. The 6mm GT quickly started taking off in the PRS and NRL match scene from onwards and has become a firm precision rifle cartridge favorite from a few custom precision rifle builders. New cartridges are not so novel these days, it seems as though a new one comes out every few months. But how can devoted marksmen discern between a keeper, and something that is all hype?

Much of new cartridge marketing these days is just rebranding an older idea with a new twist, see what I did there Westerner? It would be a disservice to discuss the GT without mentioning one of if not the most entrenched parodies of the shooting world today. When the GT was initially released, many were inquisitive as to its ancestry.

The GT being its own genesis led many to question what the G and the T stood for, and the internet took over from there. In typical fashion with our community, several actors on social media dug deep into the shadows of their closet for a comical answer to the question. The Gay Tiger was born of an internet meme, and its same-sex partner.

The novelty only increased when embraced by the entire community, and even head-stamped brass reading 6mm Gay Tiger was produced by Alpha Munitions. There is no doubt that the satirical gag helped drive notoriety of the GT, and it spread like fire. The 6mm GT, or 6 GT as it is often called, was a collaborative effort between two gentlemen with legendary experience in the realm of precision rifle shooting.

George Gardner of GA Precision and Tom Jacobs of Vapor Trail Bullets combined their collective knowledge to dream up the perfect cartridge for competitive rifle shooting. The new round offers shooters some of the best attributes possible for precision shooting. Velocity is not always everything, but the 6mm GT provides ample speed for its size. Bullets of the typical to grain match weight easily attain 3, fps and more.

These speeds are achieved with modest charges of Varget powder. Between 34 and 35 grains is all it takes due to the very efficient case design. The degree shoulder of the 6mm GT helps it feed flawlessly and without modification from most common magazine options like the AICS-pattern mags. The GT also uses a small primer pocket, which many believe creates a stronger, more rigid case head. This translates into durability and strength, allowing you to reload the cases with additional life expectancy.

Loaded ammunition is available from Hornady and a few custom shops. But the GT offers more powder capacity than the smaller cases and more velocity. It does this very efficiently without increasing recoil like you would see shooting similar loads in the Creedmoor and larger cases. This brings added value by increasing barrel life and shooting performance.

With top-quality components available for the GT, extremely consistent velocities make the cartridge a shoo-in for precision rifle competition. I decided that I needed to dig into the GT. So after doing some research, I started ordering the parts.

First, I got a reamer from Alpha Munitions that was designed for the additional freebore needed for those slender and long match bullets that are or more grains. It was a twist barrel that would end up being 24 inches long, helically fluted, and threaded. Yes, I was absolutely going to run muzzle attachments.

The GT uses a standard. Once finished, I installed the barrel extension on the breach of the barrel and fitted a Patriot Valley Arms Jet Blast muzzle brak e to the front.
