Hornady 6mmBR Rem modified case in my 6mm BR Norma?

[Barko70]

I want a Hornady modified case to check my OAL in my 6mm BR Norma, the only one they have is a 6mm BR Rem. Will it work to establish an overall length?
Thanks!

It will work. I have and use one in my 6BR Norma.

The differences in the specs allow for longer bullets in the 6BR Norma which won't affect how the case fits.

That’s what I thought/and was hoping to hear. Thank you!

Send your request to @Gene66 he does a good job of modifications to your fire formed case

Copper Creek Ammo makes a great one also

Custom cases made from your fired brass is the best way to go. After making a couple of my own, I still think having them made is a better use of my time.

If you want to send me one of your fired cases, I can modify it for you.

@Barko70 Using your die as a work holder, a simple drill press with a drill and a tap will require less than 15 mins of effort to make one. I have made dozens this way for folks who aren't inclined.
I realize not everyone has drill bits and taps, or even a small drill press, but if @Mark W is offering to do it for you, I would take him up on it (and send him a fire formed case with the neck set to allow a bullet to slide).

It's an odd sized tap - 5/16 x 36, as I recall. The only hard part is drilling the case head square to the base (well, it's hard for me, anyway.)

"This 5/16″ x 36 tpi tap is pretty uncommon, but you can order it from Amazon.com if you can’t source it locally."

I drill mine with a cordless drill. Use a Wilson trimmer case holder and clamp it in my barrel vice. First couple times weren’t that pretty but I’m not too bad at it now. Doesn’t have to be perfect to do the job.

I took a couple small pcs. of oak and couple 1/4 inch bolts, nuts, and washers and made a jig. I drilled this hole with 7/16" bit and it seems to work fine with everything I've tried so far. I clamp it down to the table on my small drill press so as to keep it straight and centered. I run the motor on the press to drill the hole and feed slowly thru and then swap out to the tap and turn the chuck by hand to thread it cause my press even at low speed is too fast for tapping. Works well if you set it up straight and centered before drilling. Pic below is the last one I made for my 260AI.

6br and 6br norma are the same right?

I have a similar but much more crude jig. I found it easier to start with a 1/8 or so drill, then 3/16 before the final one before tapping. It seems to drill easier and not spin the case so easy.
