6.8 BR??

[NorCalMikie]

How would you go about making brass. Blow out a 6BR or neck down a 7BR?
I'am guessing it would take a special built reamer?
Got a 6.8 SPC that is turning out to be a real shooter so why not a 6.8 BR? Opinions? Thanks,Mike.

6.5 BR would make more sense to me, much better bullet selection!

Stick with Lapua brass, You'll need a .277 expander mandrel die from Sinclair # 05-3000 and exp man #E27, midway may have them.
You may be able to use a 7mmBR resize die, if you can find a type S then just change the bushings to fit. The 135SMK may shoot well out of a BR, Berger has a 130 also.

The 6.5 "may" have a better bullet selection but, It's not a 6.8. Once you get something stuck in your head, you've got to sort it out till you find out how it will work.
I'am thinking a Redding 6BR body die with the pilot hole reamed out to .300 + or - a bit.
Then maybe a Forster bushing bump die reamed out the same with the bushings as neded.
Maybe it will be a "first" of it's kind? Thanks guys for the input, Mike.

Good luck with your project, let us know how it shoots!
