6BR primer selection?

[Sniper338]

Cci br4?
450?

Federal small rifle match or standard?

From what ive seen most people use br4 or 450 primers.. i keep hearing something how the 450 works beat cuz its a bit hotter?


Just getting some info before i load some up and start working on the load development... thinking reloader15to start with... never had luck with varget giving me groups i like...

I've had pretty good luck with both CCIs - 450 and BR-4 in my 6BR.

I use Federal Match or CCI 450's igniting VVN133 pushing 68 gr Barts Bullets @ 100 yds in my Savage Model 12 6mmbr. Get fantastically accurate and very tight groups. I've tried several combinations over the years, but my particular rifle likes the aforementioned loads the best regardless of the barrel on her.

Both work good for me in my 6BR.

Both Cci BR4 and 450 work great in my 6BR. . Don't find one works better than the other in mine.
Also I was using Reloader 15 with great success with my 105gr berger hunting vlds and hybrids but I swapped to varget and got more consistent loads . Think the RL15 is more temperature sensitive and the RL15 is a dirty powder

I tested BR4 and Fed 205GM and found the BR4 was the best. I am using Varget and Berger 105 VLD in Lapua brass.

I use RP7.5BR, CCI450, BR-4, Win SRP and Fed205M and all work well in both 6BR and 22BR

Add Wolf and Tula to the list also. Primers are all different. They can vary from lot to lot just like powder does. The difference you can't mix several lots of primers. like you can powder. Larry
