I am having a 6MM BR built and was hoping to find a more user friendly forum. A couple of questions as well
Thanks
I'm left with the impression that you got burned on a forum somewhere else on the net. That's unfortunate. I believe you'll find this one to be friendly.
In addition to other rifles, I shoot a 6BR Norma that was initially a bench rest gun and is now a tactical rifle. What are your questions.
I have gotten 2 very differing opinions from shooters on other forums. I am changing my old Wichita Silhouette pistol from 7MM-08 to a 6MM Remington BR. Primary reason is I can no longer tolerate the recoil. Hornaday Dies are available, Redding are much more difficult and I have not found any brass or instructions on what I could do. Norma Brass has been recommended, but Lapau comes up as the best choice? In real terms for someone on a budget which choice is the best? I am not going to compete in benchrest, but I have coyote's by the hundreds and an IHMSA range that I do go to. Just the facts Jackgun)

To be totally honest, with only about ten cents per round difference, I don't find any true cost advantage in one over the other. Both are top notch so I'd probably buy which ever I could find at any given time. If you're an IHMSA member you may be able to find a source that offers a lower price because of that affiliation.
Can't say as I blame you for trading the 7MM-08 for the 6BR. In fact, most of the Wichita Silhouette pistols I'm acquainted with are smaller calibers (e.g. .243) and I don't know anyone who shoots the larger versions like the .308, etc.
