given the 75 to 85 grain bullets what if any thing is the performance differance are you finding in a bolt gun for 300 to 600 yard shooting

 

[rijndael]

Are you planning to feed from a magazine?

Both are excellent choices but the bottom line comes down to which one you can find the materials or reloading components would be my biggest choice

Feeding from a cheap mag, I would go 6xc. Tubb has Peterson brass on sale for $59. That's stupid cheap.

Feeding from expensive mags, or single shot 6bra every single time.

My 6xc is the most accurate gun I shoot with little to no load development period.

 

[rijndael]

And my GT shoots just as well as my XC.

The XC is not what the OP is asking about.

6bra with 80.5 gr burgers with your choice of powder N140, Rl15, H335, IMR 3031 IMR 8208 so what i’m saying is the 6bra is will powder friendly.

6bra. Just do an 8 twist.

I have the 6 GT & the 6 BRA. Both will shoots dimes at 300 & still amazing at 600 & 1000.

Would documented performances favor the 6 BRA or even the 6 BR if 600 is the limit? The GT is used mainly for hunting & PRS. I think as more people give it a shot the GT might bring some smiles to peoples faces. Sorry for more rambling than just one solid answer.

I'd probably go BRA as well.

6BR or 6DA Norma will do everything you ever dreamed of and more, simple brass situation is a big plus.
Don't get sucked into the fire forming or junk brass vortex.

6DA Norma

What is a DA Norma? Dasher?

Takes a reamer for this brass. No Form waste of time and money, great case cartridge.
Don't buy into gunsmith pimping and others misery.
The Alpha 6DA is another good way to go, a more standard reamer design and easier to get one size fits all dies, consumer grade or high end.
I forget most people do not have machine shops and build skills, stick with the off the shelf top end stuff and you will be fine.
Avoid pimping efforts that do nothing for the shooter like the 6BRA fad.
Now adays except in a very few cases their is good brass and off the shelf and reamers and components to make good to supremely excellent shooting rifles.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the Dasher, I've just never seen it abbreviated to a 6DA.
