Peterson 6BR Brass

[Bill Norris]

My post was reporting similar OAL in Peterson 6BR cases as did @Bill Norris. I have no experience with Alpha cases to report.

Only experience I had with Alpha brass was not good with 260AI. Loads pressured out way too soon as opposed to Lapua brass. Have not tried any since.

Has anyone used Peterson 6BR brass to make 30BR? If so, what do you think?

I use both 6br and 7br Peterson to make 30BR. A+++

I started using the Peterson 6BR brass a year ago. Same load I used with Lapua and the same accuracy. At 5 firings now, still looks good.

I know this is an older post, but wondering how the Peterson 6br has held up for you guys using it. I just got a 6brx barrel spun up to replace my target 6br and my Lapua brass is getting a little old and I have less of it than I thought, so need to get some more soon.

I've shot Peterson brass in my 30br this season. It's been fired 13 or 14 times ,I have annealed after every 5 firings, it falls in and out of the gun like new brass every time. In my opinion it is at least as good as lapua if not better, primer pockets are still like new. I just bought 300 more pieces for the next barrel when that time comes. Excellent product

I use it in my 6bra.
It’s been excellent, I think my most used lot is at 8 shots now and going strong.

Giving Lapua another month and then switching to Peterson myself. Love the 6br brass. Never used it for 30br though.

Same here, I sold off my 6BR Lapua years ago and started using Peterson and after 15-20 loads it is still going strong and consistent with performance.
Have their brass in all calibres that I shoot aside from some 6.5PRC Lapua necked up to 7mm and now some ADG ready made 7-6.5PRC brass.
Most recently, their 6GT brass for a pending build.

My Peterson 6BR brass is now at 15-20 loads and currently pushing the Sierra 107’s at 2’850fps and just drilling.
Primer pockets still good and only a handful out of my rotating 220 pcs feel a slightly softer seating of the primers.
Cleaned and annealed @ time.

My 6BR Peterson brass has been equal to my Lapua. I have two boxes of 50 that I alternate every month or so. They both have more than 10 reloads on them with no failures and no difference in group sizes. But, I am not a BR shooter so there may be differences I can't see with my loading and shooting.

Looks like no more 7BR from Peterson, glad I snagged 100 about a year ago, email reply 7/22.

"Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, we are not sure that we will be producing 7mm BR again. We do not have a run of it scheduled currently."

Looks like Peterson changed their minds, 7BR is available again!
