Suggest you set it up for .272 neck (ie no neck turn) and lapua brass. If being used on antelope, it has got to be the 8 twist.

Go to www.6mmbr.com and look at their recommended reamer specs for just that setup.

I'd definately check out the 6x47 lapua. Just as accurate as the 6BR but with added capacity and velocity.

+1 6X47lapua

My 6X47lapua travels 3050fps with 115dtacs. I harvested deer out to 725yds this year with it. It is winning around here in f-class tournaments also(could be that 308 nate and tjonh2001 shoot them). I have a bartlein 1:8 twist on a repeater and a Broughton 1:7.75 twist on my competing rifle. Quite frankly I never looked at the BR or dasher anymore once Richard Schatz told me the 6X47lapua might feed a little better because of the case length. He also said you can get the same results with less powder to burn in the dasher!
