Why so ? I think .244 (a.k.a 6mm) Remington is very nice caliber when making, for example, m98 Mauser actioned rifle for shooting big birds (Lyrurus tetrix and Tetrao urogallus) from long range. That kind of hunting is very popular in Scandinavia. Barrel twist for light bullets is very good for this purpose.

Actually, I have one full stocked small ring Mauser project waiting, so.....
