6BR AR Loads

[joghotrod]

I am having a 6BR upper built for my AR and wondered if I need to reload for it different from a bolt gun? It will be a 1/8 twist and throated for the 105's and similar bullets. Thanks for any info that you might have.

The main thing about the auto platform is you don't need to jam into the lands quite as hard so I have been told. I have the 6mmAR from Robert Whitley and I am using the dies that he sells with the upper which is a special die that Redding is making for him. I think his reload info states that for the 105 gr. Berger VLDs he is jamming into the lands .010. His web-site is 6mmAR.com if you would like to visit it. Hope this helps. Bill

I was going to go with a 6mmAr or a 6mmwoa but Mike at Dtech said he had the bolt and barrel extension for the BR and having done business with him before he gave me a great price on the build. Most people don't go with the 6BR because they don't have bolt,barrel extension or mags. I don't shoot anything but single shot so I don't need to worry about a Mag.
