hi bob,
try wild bill. he has done a lot of homework on this case, & swears by it. knows about reamers etc.
try to find him on benchrest central website, probably in the 1000 yd section, as he is apparently banned from this site because of some personal litigous problem which has nothing to do with the majority of users of this site.

I had one built not long ago.
Am I happy with it.. Extremely!
Is it easy to load for.. Extremely!
Would I have it chambered again.. Of course.
Fireforming loads shoot very well, and when doing a ladder test could not pick which load was better. I have settled on 33.5g of RL-15, but will back off a bit when the weather heats up!
Used the false shoulder method for fireforming. It does take a fair bit of prep work. lapua 6mmBR brass is excellent.
I am using Redding dies.
Cheers

Ok
Reamer is Shane Clancy's, and neck is .265.
Have not needed to use the body die yet, but I did notice at melbourne that one round was a little hard on bolt lift. Just the one though???
Redding makes all the dies. I use a 6mmbr Compe. seater with the sleeve reamed, a Type S NK and a Type S FL.
The ladder test was shot at 250m, and 14 out of the 18 shots went under a 20cent coin. The other 4 where so darn close however! I would a have full 1 grain of powder where I could load across and have extremely good acurracy.
After I did the ladder test I fireformed a few more cases at 250m and these all went into around the inch mark.
This little round is quite amazing.
Barrel life I hope is around 2000-2500.
Just think of using around 33.3 grains of powder pushing a 107MK at 3000 to 3100fps. Efficient!!!!
The barrel is a Hart, and I do not know if its just the barrel or the caliber but it cleans super quick. The first couple of times I cleaned it (after running barrel in) I did not feel I was cleaning the barrel as bugger all copper was coming out.
I refuse now to clean during a match, unless I see accuracy fall off, but I doubt that very much!
Cheers

Hi AI doing a ladder at 250 is toooo close
I do mine at 500m and the nodes can be distinctly seen I don't worry to much about windage just elevation

Bob,
I won't hijack your other thread, but I'd be interested to hear about what you've now decided in terms of reamers, dies and brass etc?

Thanks You
Thank you to all who have provided info and assistance. Reamer has arrived and the dies are on the way. I am looking forward to the new toy.
