6GT fit for a BAT B Drop port??

[Sightcast-Alan]

Does anyone know if a 6GT case will drop from a Bat B drop port that is sized for the BR family. A dasher and 30 Grendel drops fine from it but was toying around with possibly trying a GT but don’t have a piece of brass to test fit. From my measurements it’s cutting it close as it will drop through at a slight angle..

Thanks
Alan

I just tried a 6GT case in my Bat MB ( same bolt length as B ). The case did drop out. I think you will need to be sure you pull the bolt all the way to the bolt stop.

Thanks Paul!
Wouldn’t happen to have a piece of 6.5x47 brass you could see if it drops? Trying to determine what my limit is. From measuring a piece of creed brass laying in the action, the shoulder looks like it needs to get to about 1.400” from base of case to clear with the bolt all the way back to the stop.
Thanks

I have 6X47. It dropped out. I think there is a good chance the 6.5X47 will drop.
