Looking to get a 6mm for deer and target. I stumbled upon the 6SLR on here a couple weeks ago and have been researching it as much as I can, yet still have a few of questions that don't seem to have definitive answers.
I'd like to use small rifle primer Lapua or Peterson brass, from what I see I'll have to neck turn, which is no biggie, but I'm seeing threads about people having to neck turn and ream the insides of the neck, not once but throughout the brass's life. Is that actually the case with this cartridge? That would be the deal breaker for me I think.
What's the ease of reloading this cartridge, is it finicky or pretty easy to find a good load? I see reports of better barrel life with this cartridge than the 6 creed or 243 win and the like. I like the idea of getting a little bit better barrel life and still having the velocity.
