6mm type loading

[JB101]

With regards 6mmBR in my experience I have tried neck turned and non turned cases with no real difference in terms of accuracy.
I have found that the neck turned cases do not last as long before the neck starts to split.

My 6mm br is std chamber whereas my 6.5x284 is a tight neck(291)barrel. So I have to turn all the cases for it - I would not go down this route again.

If you’re shooting out to 600m, then I don’t think you can go wrong with the standard 6BR.

Thanks for the link.
I am mainly restricted to 200 yards, but a great article to read and digest.

If you are shooting up to 200y, want a 6mm and are chasing accuracy, then look no further. It is widely acknowledged to be the Daddy of all cartridges as far as short range accuracy is concerned.

Just make sure you get a 1 in8 or thereabouts barrel.
I never bothered fireforming the cases, load it up with N140 if you have it quite economical to shoot
90-100 grain bullets.

Thank you for reply, I have read it and it would seem that I would have to buy a few new dies etc in order to reload?

Crowman,

For 200 yards as pointed out the 6PPC would be ‘it’ but a bit more specialised and no rifles off the shelf that comes to mind?

The next step would be a 6BR which has cases and rifle off the shelf- but limited selection, the Savage would do it: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/...perb-accuracy/

Regardless of what you choose a set of dies and IMHO separate expander and specific measuring tools, will be required.

The 6BR is inherently accurate - you will a very happy bunnie
