perfect, thank you.

Recoil.
Exactly why I went with 6CM AnD 6Dash LOL. I want the factory ammo and then the test lab ammo.
I actually don't have my own reloading setup yet haha. Using a friends. I still buy factory in a pinch since I am super new to load dev and stuff. But when I do get it down I think it will be hard to go back to factory. Unless it's cheaper to go factory, but I haven't heard of that in awhile.
What kind of interest would you 6xc shooters have in custom ammo? Or does everyone roll their own anyway?
Or dasher or any of the others that dont have factory ammo.
I'd love to see 6 BR factory ammo
The problem is that small shops need upwards of $2/rnd to produce ammo.
Makes zero sense to pay $2 for 6br or dasher when you can get 6cm Berger ammo for $1.34/rnd with lapua brass.
And 6br or other cartridges aren’t used enough for big ammo companies to produce. PRS community seems large cause we are all congregated online. But we are a very small niche in the ammunition world.
Yeah i hear ya. And i don’t wanna pay $2 a rounds when i can load for it for $0.80. It’s an unrealistic desire... i can dream tho haha
What is the parent case? what bullet do you go with and at what velocity?
500 nitro express in a sxs
A couple buddies shoot the 6mm Competition Match.
They use .243 Win cases and fire form.
As to bullets, I believe they are using 105 gr. Bergers at around 3100 fps.
Hold up; where you getting 6cm for that price?
Targetsportsusa and outdoorlimited
$26/box
Plus either shipping or tax depending on which site you use.
Was $270-$275 per 200 after all said and done. So, $1.35/rnd
Damn, out of stock

Ya, the “problem” with hornady vs Berger is hornady brass vs lapua brass.
You can either keep and have once fired lapua brass or sell it and be at or below the cost per round that it would be to load your own ammo.
The combination of a 105 hybrid bullet and lapua brass is damn near impossible for anyone to come close to in value.
Yep, The Hornady stuff shoots really well though. If I could get the berger Id buy some. Ables has some in stock apparently.
