Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass

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.

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.
