Just saw this on 6mmbr.
Small primer pocket, might be good for a hot 6mm??

I think you're right. US shooters are frequently necking down the Creedmoor to 6mm for the PRS series. I think the addition of the small primer pocket helps its cause so it would probably be worthwhile testing.

Re: Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass
Just wondering if the case is starting to get too big for the small primer if necked down to 6mm, especially in cooler weather? As a 6.5 I wouldn't mind trying it.

Yeah was thinking the same. 6XC has been quite successful with a large primer.
