6 BRA

Guys,

Is there a definitive 6BRA reamer print? if so would someone please share it with me?

If I was to also get a resize reamer ground at the same time for die making then how much should it differ and in what areas exactly?

Many thanks. :)
 
Check with whidden on the dies. Alex said in another post that he sent them the info to get dies to match his reamer. Then you're all set
 
Thank you Alex, do you have any thoughts on a resize reamer?, if not then which do you feel are the most suitable dies to ensure correct case sizing?

Many thanks :)
Harrels Dasher D3 FL Bushing Die shortened .080" is what most are using to size and a Wilson Dasher inline seating Die does the job for seating.

Cheers Rushty
 
Just call JGS and tell them what you are looking for. They will email a print to you.
They will not provide Alex's print, as it is not available for public release, at least this is what they told me a few months ago. They did provide other BRA prints, I'm just curious about Alex's.
 
Call JGS and tell them you want the 6BR AI JL...johara helped me with it after Alex brushed me off.

In Alex's defense I gave those guys a lot of crap about marketing the brai as the second coming of a cartridge that was tried years ago. I thought it was all in fun but evidently some struck a nerve. I was going to try one but a few folks here in Texas having troubles getting them to work/tune. I know of three and they know how to tune a barrel and can't get consistent results. I bailed on the project and stuck to my brx and dasher.

Good luck.

I didn't brush you off. I don't share any of my reamer prints, I have some good reasons why. I answer reamer dimension questions all the time in PM or email if you have a specific question. I think I share enough that I am allowed to keep a couple things to myself? This is the internet, I dont take it personal and honestly the BRA "controversy" was kind of fun :)

The BRA is real simple. Take your favorite numbers for a 6br and just have them put a 40 degree shoulder on it with a .460-.461 shoulder diameter. Thats all it is. A Harrell's D3 with .085" cut off the bottom is still my preferred die. They have sold a pile of them and will know exactly what you want. I do recommend asking for .085" cut off rather than .080" like I used to because some presses or shell holders seem to be borderline at .080". They will ask your the neck diameter of your chamber when you order, so know that when you call.

Well if someone has a print that doesn't want someone else to have I would just ask for a dasher print an make your own changes to it .

It's not a big deal, I pretty much know what I want. I was just curious about Alex's print, and I don't know why I can't view it.
 
I have a question regarding reamer prints. I'm new to this so bear with me

I have a 6BRA in the works and the JGS reamer print sitting in front of me.

I see the neck dimension = 0.2725"

Is the freebore the same as the lead? If so, it looks like mine is 0.1100"
 
Guys no need to get your undies in a wad as it’s not rocket science. These cases have been around for years and virtually every variation will work.... 99% of them are so close to the exact same (Unless you want to neck turn or shoot lighter bullets), that you wouldn’t even know or be able to shoot the difference.

Mine is the same as many others... .100 fb, .461 at the shoulder, .4714 at the .200 line, .272 for no turn, .268 for a tight neck, .244 fb diameter.

It's the number right above that one...on my JGS reamer print it's U&V where the lead is T&V.

Alex - I've got no axe to grind...but if a smith told me I couldn't have a reamer print for a chamber he'd cut for me it would be the last one he'd cut. Sounds like your guys are a lot more understanding of your new policy or you've lost customers and might not even know it. Good luck!
