My loading process is as follows
6br Lapua brass
Chamfer and deburr
Setup my XL750
Priming with cci 450 magnum
Mandrel necks
Frankford Arsenal intellidropper for powder and dropping with die and funnel
Frankford Arsenal Universal seating die seating bullets

Initial loads I have tested are light and need some work

112gr Barnes Match Burner
Shooters World Long rifle 29gr
I did chronograph this load and it's on the slow side.

Shot this in 15mph winds at 100 yards. Not my best and will definitely improve. Will shoot the 200 i have loaded and move on to full load development

Fire forming 6 BR brass isn't as bad as it seems. Shot several matches fire forming 6 BR to BRA brass. I was a little uneasy going from a 6.5 Creedmoor with 142 SMK's to a tiny 6mm BR with 107 SMK's. Come to find out it wasn't a handicap. Load development for this caliber was the easy button and it was accurate. right around 30 hrs of Varget was what most were using at the end. The very 1st match I shot with the fire formed brass was the PRS Finale in Texas. The format did not allow you to pick up brass after the stage. The RO's would pick up what they could at the end of the day and dump it all out in a pile. Looked like a bunch of vultures hitting a roadkill hahahahah. I lost 128 pieces that mach. That stung a lot.

All this to say pick a load to fire form and go to town. No need to go any other route.

By the way, Nice boom stick!!!!

While I understand how bad a match gets slowed down looking for brass I get pretty cranky loosing A piece of brass.

I'd have to go see one of these liberal grief counselors if I lost 128 pieces

I’ll send you some cookies, crayons and Legos, but you better get the milk locally.

That would be a match I'd never attend again since they steal your brass.

There's a good chance I would not have shot the match once I found out about not being able to pick it up. At least I would not add another $138 to the bill.

I'm hoping to make my first match next year

Very nice. What kind of competition are you going to use it in?
