Great Question???

[skeetlee]

I was talking with my shooting pard the other day and the subject about 220 russian brass was brought up. Why doesnt Lapua just make already formed 6ppc brass? Why the 220 Russian? Is the 22 Russian a popular chambering? You would think that Lapua would make it easy on the 6ppc shooters. they would sell a boat load of it. with either a custom 262 neck or a standard 272. They could offer it either way. Life would be so much easier, at least i would think. I havent gotten into the 6ppc game yet mostly due to the fact of the cost of the brass. I have been reluctant to take the step and learn the ropes. I think the time as come though. I am tiered of getting out shot. Anyone have any reasonable explanation why lapua doesnt offer formed 6ppc cases? Just something i have always wondered. Plus i am bored so i thought i would ask. Lee

.220 Russian Lapua runs $9/ box,100) more than the 6 BR Lapua. Considering the extensive useful life of this quality brass I don't see how cost of brass is a deterrent.
What brass are you using in your 6BR? or your 6x47,which is near $90 now)?
