starline brass-?- 6mmx47L

[rogn]

just wondering about the quality of Starline 6.5 srp brass. Im working with a 6X47L and was just wondering if Starline or Lapua 6mm brass would be a reasonable source to convert to 6mmx47L?

That's a lot of work for nothing more than what it is

If you can, wait for the Peterson 6x47 brass to come back in stock.
Worth the wait...

I tried Starline 6.5 Grendel for my 6 Grinch. I was disappointed. It didn't hold up much better than Norma. Two firings and it was done. I won't say the experiment wasn't worthwhile. I tried both Norma and Starline and it convinced me to stick with Lapua for future projects. Only destroyed 300 pieces of brass in the process.

Dusty,
You could be right, but I don't think a correct flash hole would make it any tougher. Of course, I could just use less powder, but it worked in the lapua.

The engineer said the hole size doesn't matter for accuracy an .081 flash hole will shoot as good as an .059, I open them up to .0625 without issues but past that accuracy seems to suffer.... jim

When someone says “It doesn’t matter for accuracy “ when talking about reloading, check their advice two times. Maybe three.

I usually look for their name toward the top of the list on match results before I get to excited.
