I've had the reamers and gauges for 4 + years now and still haven'y got around to building the rifle. I have 100 Lapua 6BR cases that I've necked up and then neck turned . BR is not that popular at my club except for .22. Look forward to getting a few recipies.

Regards

It's a PTG reamer and go/no go gauges.

6br, 6.5x47, and 6x44? swiss are the go to chamberings for 300m shooting. the lapua and swiss were designed specifically for this sport.
not sure for br shooting.
keep safe,

I'm a 30BR man but F Class not ISSF. Reamer is a 30BR Robinet. I'm using 118gr Copperhead projectiles in a 1:18" Lilja barrel. I love it. Use it out to 500m if the wind is light. Most accurate thing I own. So easy to tune. Those stubby 118gr projectiles may have the BC of a house brick but what they lack in wind bucking ability they make up for with accuracy. I think everyone should have one. My chamber has a .330" neck with .329 loaded round. 34gr AR2207, Feberal match primers and 118gr Copperheads.

I like my 6BR too, its had double possibles at 300,400 and 700 and its easy to tune. I dont think it would keep up to the 7mms in a comp on a windy 800 (in fact i am sure it wont), but for club use its just fine !
I have seen a 30br in action at 300 and it was amazing.... cant remember the centre count but it was about 120.14 or so....

That's the same reamer I have. I have a couple of boxes of CDC 115 grain pills as well. Might need to get the rifle built.
