Rrg...go HERE...or a couple posts up in this thread to see what I decided on...I took this advice...

I'm a pretty mechanical guy...setting rimless cartridge head space involves setting the distance between closed bolt face and the prescribed datum line on the case shoulder by how far the barrel is screwed on to the action...Go/No Gages are a coarse check and to set, I think you can determine...

McMillian BR Stock 6mmPPC and 6mmBR Kreiger Barrels Farley Action with Custom Farley bolt Jewel Trigger Weaver Scope

Thanks Tank...the stock is a McMillian light BR...forgot to mention that the deal also comes with a Kreiger 6mm BR barrel in 1-8 twist so that should allow using the heavier bullets I'd think...

Many thanks to all for the great info...I've come across a deal that I'd like your opinions on...Here's the specs on this...$2700 is the asking price...What do you think? -6mm PPC rb/lp, .262 nk. -Polished Farley action. -McMillan stock, -Jewell Trigger, -Farley rings, - -Weaver 36-T...

Thanks OliverAlan...I think the Savage F Class in 6mm Norma BR might be the choice...As you guessed, I do have quite an array of reloading stuff and leaned to go slow in picking the components...I think that really applies to the rifle calibers given the accuracy sensitivity to COAL and...

Thanks JohnnyK...I've read nothing but good stuff about the Savage rifles and given that chasing Cape Buffalo phase of my life is for sure behind me, seems like the 6br would be a great hole puncher as well as give a pdog or two reason for some concern...What scope do you use? Seems like a lot...

Thanks Alf...

New to LR shooting. Have read tons on this forum but there are so many choices and aspects that are not familiar yet. Looking for suggestions for entry level package to get started with. I would like to go with the 6mm BR cartridge. Savage seems to have a few offerings chambered for this round...

Newbie to rifles and precision LR shooting scene. Moving from SoCal to NV where the gun climate is a bit more tolerable and lots more open spaces. Looking to get involved in LR shooting. I enjoy reloading which up to now has been for my pistol stable. I've got a Dillon 550 with an assortment of...

You mentioned the .268 die. Does this mean you have to turn down the neck on the Lupa 6br brass or ? Been reading about the 6br and am totally new to LR shooting. Have been reloading for pistols but no rifle stuff yet...
