Oh yeah, if I were going on a pdog shoot, it would be wonderful to have a 40-50cent brass option in 6br.
Starline and Peterson 6br brass coming

How about lc308? You can buy it by the barrel and with a wildcat form die you can make whatever you want pretty easily if you want to pinch pennies. It is where the 30br started out after all. (308x1.5)

What's the capacity indifference between the two?
(from equal length cases / or near equal)

I will check the water weight tommorow an tell you the volume difference that's at 300 yards by the way.

Heres some nice long neck dasher brass from a range pickup 243win. 3 passes in a dasher die- not even using a form die- and its ready to trim. Nothin to it but to do it man. Poor folks got poor ways!

Ill be curious to see what your results are, but I just turned two pieces of Peterson, annealed and fired them into my lucky stump.
Virgin oal was 1.552.
Once fired oal was 1.546
Both pieces held 38.34 grains of water. One flickered 38.32-38.34
The lapua piece has somewhere around a bazillion firings (probably closer to 16) Its also slightly longer. As I trim them to 1.5575"
It held 39.3 grains of water. Looking forward to your results.
I fired to set chamber my case isn't improved straight 6br I will weigh tomorrow it won't have all the extra numbers you have in your weight I don't own one of those expensive scales LOL.
