6BR Bass question

[moondog]

So, I'm not in dire need but trying to be proactive. I am going to need another 300 pieces of 6BR Brass in the not too distant future. I've never used anything other than Lapua. I looked for it at all the usual suspects, nothing. What's the consensus on the other options? Peterson, Alpha
Did a quick search and saw mixed reviews. Should I just wait it out?

Keep an eye out in the for sale section.

I've had no surprises out of my 6BR Peterson brass. (I did have surprises with both Peterson and Alpha 6 Dasher brass). I had to turn the necks as they were a little too big for my liking in a 271 neck. Capacity is a shade less than Lapua so I had to adjust loads down a bit. They weighed more consistent than Lapua. Just my experience.

Graf's has Peterson in stock now.

GT Accuracy has a few Lapua left.

Everyone’s kinda got it figured out now.
Sportsman Warehouse hasn’t got there shipment yet, but I keep checking daily.https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting...rma-rifle-reloading-brass-100-count/p/1659569

Don't overlook the Norma 6BR cases. I have them in a 6BR that I've beaten the dog snot out of.

Good shootin ' -Al

Looks like GT Accuracy lowered their price…probably protecting against people hoarding it all.

A half a dozen places or more had Lapua 6br brass for sale last week and this week.

I picked up the last bulk sack of Peterson that Graf had a few days ago and got them for $1.07, freight put me at less than $1.11 in them. I've been using them for 3yrs now and would not go back to Lapua. I use it for 22br, 6br, and 6bra and anneal after each firing on the match rifles, the other's when I think about it and have had good luck. YMMV, John

I bought Lapua 6br brass from precision reloading last week I think they sold out. But they are worth checking.

Wait for Lapua

GT Accuracy has a few Lapua left.

Not now!

My vote is to wait for Lapua also. I shoot F class and tried another brand last year and wasted a lot of time chasing loads to get accuracy. I finally gave up and used OLD lapua and it was more accurate for me.
