Dang, I wish I had seen this post earlier. I had no idea select brass was even an option. I would have gladly paid the extra if it meant I didn't have to turn necks. I had a lot more neck wall uniformity issues than I expected.
6mmbr Peterson brass reviews in 6br or Dasher

Not sure Select 6BR Brass is available yet. Also not sure select brass will help with the neck wall thickness uniformity. You can call Peterson to see...

a quick email this morning to Peterson yielded this reply:
doesn't appear to be available yet.
Check out the photos of the 5 pieces I lost out of a box of Peterson expanding 6BR to 30BR.
The other thing that I noted was that their 6BR virgin brass was shorter then spec, so when I expanded to 30BR the case length is much shorter then my chamber length.
YES I used lots of lube!
Lapua only for me.

Not yet, but I just got off the phone with the sales guy from Peterson Cartridge. Sorry I can't remember the guys name right off. My apologizes to him if he see's this and I'll correct it later. Anyways he said that they are manufacturing the 6 Dasher brass and it should be available to the public through them and also Graf & Sons. Dimensions are very close to Lapua, except that the necks will be a little thicker. Closer to .014" - .0142", if I remember correctly. Price was given to me at $57 per plastic box of 50 and $500 per bulk bag of 500. And yes they are SRP and .059" flash hole. I can hardly wait.

I'm 3 firings on some of my Peterson brass in 6br and this ring separating is what my problem is now. Don't trust it for match use now.

Yes. They look just like his photo. Pm me and can explain what I think is going on.

I have done the collapsed shoulders when working with a wildcat. This is caused by not enough lube in the neck and trying to step up (or down) too much at a time.
I do apologize if you never heard back. I do call everyone back that leaves me a message. Sometimes it is not the same day but always within the next day or two. Please feel free to reach back out if there is anything that we can help you with.

I spoke to Ben about my crushed and split necks just trying to purchase a few extra pieces to replace those that I lost. I was informed I could only purchase brass thru Graf & Son and I knew they wouldn't sell single pieces. So after reading other shooters reports I decided to donate all my Peterson brass to the recycle bin at the range for everyone's safety.
GO LAPUA!

I have 200 pieces in the scrap bin also .
We'll sir all I can say is WOW.
I guess I'm the only one does not having any problem with it,I use the 6mmbr Peterson and 6.5 creedmoor have excellent results don't understand in its entirety what other folks are doing with it been shooting it all summer with excellent results keep up the good work.
If you would have asked us for a couple pieces to replace those, we would have just sent them to you. The only people that we have had to tell no to is the people that are wanting to purchase whole boxes. We are more than happy to send replacement cases to people.

Class reply.
Ccrider...yes class reply but when I called and explained to Ben my experience with their brass and that I wanted to purchase some replacements that is not the reply I received. So now it is he said or he said.
In any case in all the hundreds pieces of Lapua brass that I have expanded over the years I have NEVER lost a piece to a crushed neck! Split a few YES.
I might also mention for a very long time Lapua has always miss counted their brass by +one just in case I do something stupid.
