Blaser R8 6mm BR

[AlanF]

Planning to have J. Sip and Sons make a standard contour barrel for my Blaser R8 and I am leaning heavily towards the 6mm BR Norma. Looking for recommendations for chamber/throat dimensions as I want to shoot bullets in the 80-95gr range and use unturned Lapua brass. Thanks.

I WOULD GO WITH A 10TWIST BARREL WITH A 272 NECK WITH .060 FREEBORE WORKED FOR ME OVER THE YEARS

If you really don't ever want to turn necks, I'd go 273 or even 274 for the neck--they tend to get thicker as you go through several resizing cycles. Agree that .060" free bore should work.

Thank you for advice. I will be giving Justin a call in the next day or so.
