6gt reamer

[gsxr1k]

I was looking at A 6GT Is chamber reamer. It has A 274 neck and A 118 freebore. It is from manson Are there any opinions on this or another river which would be more desirable? Thank you

In the last two weeks I've had more people ask about 6gt and 22gt than in the last two years since I bought the 6gt reamer.

Is there a thread on Snipers Hide or something?

6GT is the least sensible choice of all the 6mm. Considering the brass choices.

6xc would be my recommendation.

i had no problem aquiring 500 pcs pf 6gt brass and it is not a wildcat all dies and reamers are available. call ga precision for questions on reamer design

The six GT is by far the least popular 6 mm I chamber. And I have yet to hear of anyone reporting a screamer. I was just trying to figure out why all the sudden everybody is talking about it again and I haven't heard anything about it for years I suspect that somebody on Facebook or somewhere else is talking about how it's the greatest things in sliced bread. But I don't know that for a fact I was just going off of what usually happens It's pop back up

I'm asking because I just shot my first prs match with a 6br and had feeding problems from the magazine. No internet article or FB post interest. Alpha brass is available

Would a 6xc reamer clean up a 6br reamer? That's what I'm interested in. I'm hoping not to have to set my barrel back.

I have a 6GT that shares the same neck and freebore, it's serving me really well. I currently shoot either 107s or DTACs. It feeds well out of all of my metal mags, which are AI and MDT mags. It doesn't feed well from my polymer MDT mag, I understand they have a specific one for the GT now.

FWIW: I came from a 6XC, also shooting DTACs. I didn't get another XC because the majority of the smiths I wanted to do business with either didn't have a reamer anymore or weren't sure about their compatibility with my origional Tubb die and Norma brass ... this gets back to the whole XC vs XC 2 stuff.

I presently have magpul Aics mags. Any experience with those? And also shooting 107s. Thank you for the info.

No, I don't. But, I think my shooting buddy has one, I can test feeding if you'd like.

PS. I expanded on my FWIW section in post 7.

Thank you. If it's not too much trouble I'd be curious if they feed out of a magpul.

you are not the ONLY person CHAMBERING BBLS...just saying

I’ve been shooting a 6gt the past few years and haven’t had any feeding problems. I use arc 10rd mags mostly, but I’ve shot magpul,aics, and mdt mags with no problem.

I just built a GT a couple of months ago and found it pretty easy to load for ... I've got 0.120" FB and have been shooting 109ELDMs from AICS 10 Rnd mag and zero feeding issues so far. I have some MP mags for another gun, but haven't tried them yet with the GT

Obviously.

Or, should I say OBVIOUSLY.

I was just trying to figure out where this sudden new fascination with the cartridge was coming from.

Honestly? I'm not sure. I would cut off the tenon if it were me.

I think the 6xc has more taper. But don't quote me on that.

Tubb sells his reamers for his chamber. If you ever want to do a Tubb chamber.

The only trouble I've had running them in a Magpul is once the mags get dirty they got gritty but if you pulled them apart and wiped them out they were back to running very good.

 

[DHuffman]

I'd add very easy to load for also shooting 110 Atips

 

[gsxr1k]

Thank you all for the responses. I appreciate the input.

I know, it wasn't worth the added expense. For me, the GT does everything the XC does. Well, except feed from an MDT 308 Polymer mag ... that's the only downside I've seen.
