Another 6 mm PPC die question

[Blazenet]

Anybody familiar with Kimber of Oregon 84 in 6mm PPC? I just picked up a NIB Kimber of Oregon 84 in 6mm PPC. Barrel is marked 6mm PPC, no mention of USA. Seller stated gun dated to 1984. Looking for options for reloading dies that will best fit the chamber?

Would be great if you can find some cases that were shot in that rifle/chamber.
Otherwise may need to do a cast of the chamber???
You are going to need to know the neck diameter.
Find a local guy that shoots 6 ppc and he can help you!!!

Don't know how close you are to them. But there is a good source for all questions 6ppc related, and real fine folks as well.

If it's the factory barrel.more than likely it's a usa.find a peice of norma 6ppc brass.its made for the USA version.take firing pin out of bolt and if bolt shuts hard on closing or doesn't want to fit.then it's probly a custom ppc.but if it shuts with no problem it's probly a USA.

I’d try to fire and neck size brass three times or until it clicks and send those brass to Harrell’s to choose the best one. The 6PPC-USA was usually a bit generous on size compared to match chambers.

Thanks for the replys. Brass arrived today, I can chamber a factory Norma case with a bullet seated.I decide to send 3 cases to Harrells for a fitted die.
