[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 563781, member: 24624"] 6br is extremely fun and easy to load for and shoot. The '06 is Long Action and 6BR is Short Action. It will work in the LA. But, you're not taking full advantage of the cartridge. There's no special bolt work for the 6BR. But, you do have to tweak your magazine to get it to feed nicely as a repeater. There's plenty of info available for doing that yourself. Faster versions such as the Dasher, XC, etc may have an edge in competition at some expense for barrel life. But, it doesn't sound like you're going through 1,000's of rounds yearly anyways. And if you are, then barrels are just part of the expense. Lapua brass is a huge plus for the 6br. Even so, there's plenty of '06 brass that can be necked down for a 6-06' if you want something that much overbore. In any case, you'll want to pick your target, bullet, distance, and start working back from there to design a proper shooting system. There are always compromises. But, the best ones usually have some sense of balance and purpose. Good luck! Richard [/QUOTE]
