Just received a Bartlein bbl 6mm

[Ironworker]

Bartlein Rem varmint contour bbl 6mm .237 - .243 8" 5R rifling. I was planing on 6mm Creedmore ,but reading previous thread everyone seems to love the 6mmXC . Use of this rifle will be varmints(Prairie Dogs) and Steel out to 1,000 yds . I ordered Creedmore dies,I can easily send them right back. So is Tubbs 6mmXC brass whole lot better than brass I can get for 6mmCreedmore ? Also thinking of 26" finished length. Screwing this bbl onto a Rem 700 Sendero .

Go creedmoor, just built one for myself and it's totally worth it.

So AB_ bentley what brass are you using for your creed ? Where I go PD hunting average shots are 200-400 yds .

I'm using 6.5 Creedmoor brass and forming it with a 6br die. After that there's no fireforming, load and go. 200-400yds is a chip shot for the 6.

 

[rardoin]

You can get Lapua 6.5 Creed brass now. It is an easy task to neck it down to 6mm. If you prefer, Hornady has 6 Creedmoor brass.

I`m thinking about putting a Dasher top end on the 6.5 Creedmoor brass.........

Basically, the Creedmoor is a long BR. In fact I'm using a BR die with no issues on the 6 creedmoor.

can you run a 6BR reamer in deep or do you have to have the Creedmoor reamer??

 

[tclaunch]

I`d think a 6/47 reamer run in a little extra would work.

I'm with Tom, I'd use 6x47L.

I use Hornady brass, I think it's great brass, going on 11 firings, when I get all 100 fired up at same time going to have them annealed again(2nd time ever). Oh, I have three 6 Creedmoors, I'd get another one if the wife wouldn't mind, wink. Shooting Pdogs at 200-400 is like shooting fish in a barrel with the 6 Creed.

What bullets are you shooting for P-dogs and whats the velocity?

 

[jaygorski]

I should have said if I did go shooting them. Probably just keep shooting some of my 105s, have some Hornadys, JLKs, Bergers at right around 3100. Would also depend on which rifle I used.

I ended up at 41.6hrs H4350 with 105JLKs or Berger VLDs, going to start testing 38grs of Varget and RE15 with some JLKs come May when the range opens up.

 

[ebb]

Hey what about a 6-284???

 

[Ironworker]

Ebb I went through 3 barrels in that fire breathing dragon cartridge . Seen videos of guys making 1,000 yard+ plus hits on cartridges 500 fps slower. I'm through with that cartridge.

The creedmoor will improve you gas mileage and whiten your teeth.

Can you explain this a little more? I assume you're referring to purelynrhe seating die. Is this correct?
