Alpha 6BR Brass?

[HTSmith]

Anyone use this? I did a search and found info on 6BRA and 6Dasher, but nothing on straight 6BR. Specifically someone that has been using Lapua and switched over. Thank you

use lapua brass its alot better I was getting heavy bolt lift with alpha shooting 6br velocity in a 6 dasher

Same for me with Dasher. The brass weighed and measured more consistent than Lapua, but it didn't work with my chamber. But hope springs eternal. Was wondering if the 6BR was working ok

Why bother. This works:

Lapua 6mm Norma BR Brass 100 Count

Lapua 6mm BR Norma Brass Cases are a top standard popular for match rifles used by the top 300 m rifle discipline shooters in the world,

I've got 1000 pieces of the BRA and some limited Dasher experience but no Alpha 6 BR

With the bra around .7 g less will get you close to the same velocity as Lapua.

Start low and work up, it probably won't take the Lapua loads well.

I have some 6BR Alpha brass and it shoots great with 68-70 grain bullets with Benchmark and N133. I have a 13 twist barrel and don't go any heavier on the weight.

There is a story that goes with it.
Yes I turned the necks. I bought a rifle that came with a bunch of fired cases. I measured the thickness of those cases, to save time, and turned the Alpha to .012 to match what had been shot in that chamber. If I remember correctly, the Alpha measured about .013
