6mm BR build help.
- Thread starter Doug Dimmadome
- Start date
i would think a 58 gr would do well in a 14
I got one Id let go of , bought it as a 6br , shoots great .
He'd still have to deal with the neck diameter.

How you like the Kauger action? Im looking for a BR action with 16 tpi
I like it a lot. It's very smooth and has great primary extraction. Small firing pin also standard

Thank you for the input. IV Been interested in one since they are 16 this breech thread. That is correct right? Which model do you have.
PRS action.
I had thought about the PRS-2 but I really didn't need a trigger hanger.
Their standard actions feel exactly the same.
I'll probably buy one of them as my next toy.
Hopefully I can talk them into a full polish on it instead of the satin look...
They are the same as the Remington with one exception.
The breech end has a slight cone to help smooth out feeding.
A standard "three rings of steel" barrel won't thread all the way in with the bolt closed.
Note the counter bore is different.
Standard bolt side view.
Mag bolt has dual ejectors.

NOW, THIS is the information I've been looking for.

So the last question I have. BTW thank you very much for the print. I could show this to a Smith if had any more questions.
But, my question I guess, it looks as if It wouldn't be an issue for a variable shoulder prefit. Right. I have three barrels with 16tpi thread remage types. I'm guessing I could use this action?

Just to be clear.
A barrel threaded to Remington specs will thread completely on.
However, the bolt nose counter bore is different.
If you insert the Kauger bolt, you'd have to unscrew the barrel right at one thread before it will close..
A barrel set up with a Remington type of bolt nose, with the three rings of steel allows the bolt nose to be inserted into the back of the barrel. That creates the "three rings" that Remington used as a marketing tool.
Savages use a flat bolt and a flat backed barrel. This leaves a couple thousands of the brass unsupported.
The Kauger uses a small tapered counter bore along with the barrel.
Honestly, if you cut a little off the back of the Remington barrel, it should work.
My barrel has the tapered counter bore for the bolt nose.
If you look at the images I provided, you can see the tapered bolt nose.
Then look at the tenon drawing and you'll see where the bolt nose sits in relation to back end of the barrel.

I would think if your smith made the tenon with Remington threads and the back of the barrel flat, it should work out just fine.
BTW, Larry charged $325 to fit and chamber the barrel including threading the muzzle end.
He'll be doing more work for me as soon as I purchase my next barrel.

You should be aware that the 6BR has some special chambering requirements. The web dimension is shorter than most cartridges, so the unsupported portion of the case needs to be kept as short as possible. This is the dimension from the bolt face to the edge of the chamber. If you section a case you can measure the web thickness.
I don't have a pic, but all 4 of my barrels are supported right to where the extractor cut starts.
My 30 BR is also the same.

There are 2 6br Savage LRPV on Gunbroker for under $1500.
I had heard all that and had concerns I but just had Alamo build me one and it feeds just fine. 737 Impact in an MPA Matrix chassis and it runs smooth from the magazines.
Save yourself a headache and buy a Borden action or a Bat buy the time you buy the REM and have it Trued you have almost the same investment and it will never be as good or shop for used rifle they are always available
