I would like to add another comment that if both you and I live long enough for me to save my money I will come see you for a rifle build. Love you honesty and passion
I shoot 6gt in a prs gun and consistently get .2inch groups off a bipod and bag and would love to see the raw accuracy capabilities of the cartridge out of a bench gun with benchrest brass prep and loading standards! I love the videos!!! Keep up the good work!
Scott has anyone reminded you lately you are a master gunsmith? The best of the best IMHO. It makes me chuckle that the most frequent question you get is "how much?" Reminds me of the old saying that if you have to ask you can't afford it. And then sadly, some that can afford will never truly appreciate your art. You should be teaching [hint] as some of us long in years are concerned your "craft" is a dying art. So you're going to build a bench rifle? Then 6 Dasher or 6 GT. Personally I would want to see a hunting/varmint rifle in 6mm Creedmoor. Why? Ammo availability for those who don't reload. but you're talking short barrel life. And I'm glad that you may have picked up on my suggestion that Austin come down for a meet/greet/shoot session. During the pandemic he sent me 100 primers when there were none to be found and I am truly grateful to him for that. He deserves one of your rifles. PS - I have loved watching your daughter grow up over the years. You and Vicky are to be commended. As an old Eagle Scout I have thanked you in the past for starting your videos with the Scout Law, and I will thank you again.
For a long range match cartridge, we promote our 6x47 Lapua set up for no turn Peterson Brass. Sub .2"s regularly for 5 shots at 100yds. For short range benchrest, we have a no turn 6BR reamer set up for Lapua Gold Box and 68 or 80gr bullets. Or a turn neck 6 PPC, also set up for Lapua Gold Box and 68's or 80's. Regular 3 shot groups at 200yds in the .1"s and 5 shot groups in the high .1's to low .2's I vote 6x47L if you're shooting heavies. It's the perfect cartridge for that game. Peterson makes 6x47L brass. No need to neck it down. I know there are a lot of 6mm Match cartridges now. In our opinion, 6x47 Lapua is the best of them all. It shoots like a Dasher, GT or BR but at higher velocity AND lower pressure.
@farmerbrown84 nah. The 6XC is an excellent cartridge as well. I think it offers a little more velocity at the cost of raw precision. But that could be speculative. Same with the 6 Creed. That offers more velocity than the XC, but at the cost of raw precision.
@kevinlee5122 I could do a video on this. There's too much to say to answer that question in these comments. Maybe I'll do a video and piggyback off of this one.
I really think in that set up the 6 GT could be the Goldilocks cartridge. You could test with the factory Hornady ammo and get Lapua brass or alpha brass, all of the best components, no excuses. I would like to see a test between the Dasher and GT
You need to build another 6 Gt( Gay Tiger ) and paint some black strips on the stock.Hornady is making factory rounds and Lapua is going to make brass as well, it will be the next hot cartage for PRS. Cheers Joe Australia. PS keep up the great work.
Really enjoy your videos very informative and interesting looking forward to the build whatever calibre it is thank you and merry Christmas from England
It was interesting to hear you mention the 6mm Rem. I had a 6mm Rem 7.5 twist, built on a long action Remington with a 1.25 30 inch straight tube. It is a very good shooter .3 to .5 at 500yds. You are dead on the mark about no quality brass being available. I've got good results from WW and Remington brass by neck turning them just enough to even them up. Getting all the flash holes and primer pockets the same. With the long action I can load the newer bullets, their just a shade over 3 inchs long and feed from a 30-06 magazine flawlessly, I'm just kind of in love with some of the older cartridges that people are throwing to the side mostly because there isnt any modern rifles made for them. I also had a 22-250 built with a 7 twist to take advantage of the 85.5 bergers and 88 hornadys. Berger sent me load data for it. Anyway thanks for your video Scott
Great 6mm video, my friend . It's always a pleasure to see what you come up with . The kids and I really like the 6-BRA and 6-Dasher. Now the other 6mm-cal. We have are very accurate as well. We have quite a few 6mm-cal. So people understand I have 10 children. We shoot a lot, and you can not have just a couple of rifles with 10 kids, lol . My kids and I are very competitive with each other . We shoot a verify of calibers from .17-cal to 50 BMG improved . We have a 243-win-AI , 6mm-Rem-AI , 6-BRA , 6-Dasher , 6-CM, and some wildcats 6mm-SST , 6MAX , 6MEGA and 6-7PRC .The sst-max-mega are from the sherman precision line what he has done with the SAUM , WSM & 300-PRC cartridges in my opinion are nothing short of amazing from ballistics to accuracy to efficiency . We hunt alot on quite a few BIG Ranches I manage throughout Texas .Their's always some critters to test bullets on . And their's nothing better than live targets for testing bullets. From hogs , rabbits, and prairie dogs , varmints to deer population control and everything in between. Accuracy is a must in my line of work . The kids and i do our best during load developing to shoot .3 in groups or less and strive for 1 hole groups . When we are doing population control, all deer & exotic have to be head shots only when donated to the feed the hungry program with the parks & wildlife department . Did You know, 3 jack rabbits can eat as much grass in one nite as 1 grow cow according to the biologists it's crazy. We shoot 1000s of rounds on live targets year round. The bullets we really like and shoot alot are the Hammer, Barnes, maker , Bergers, Nosler and swift bullets . Their's soo many people/companies making bullets from around the world it would take you 2 lifetimes and an endless amount or barrels to test them all . They have some real good companies making bullets in Africa . That majority of people never here about . One bullet I like are the Brass solids hollow point with black polymer tipped O.M.G they are devastating and accurate. Thank you for another entertaining, educational video. The kid's and I really look forward to every new vedio you post . God bless you and your family God-bless America 🇺🇸 🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱.
6 GT or 6x47 Lapua, either one would be awesome. 6 gt might be a little easier to find ammo . Good luck with the choices. Hornady just started making 6 gt ammo.
I would love to see you build the one you briefly mentioned. The 6mm Remington and Ackley Improve it. With 110's or 115's that would be an absolute hammer 🔨.
Great video, thank you. My vote is for the XC. I have a Kreiger barreled Rem 700 chambered in it. It's my most accurate rifle, shooting 105 Bergers & Varget. It seems pretty easy on brass, I'm currently on my 8th reloading with only "donuting" noted. Could you comment on the "donut" issue common to the XC case or is that another video in itself? I do not see it as a very big issue as the boat tail bases of the Bergers do not come close to touching that area where neck size is reduced. Thank you.
Go with the Dasher. I have the BR, BRA, and Dasher and the Dasher is the most fun. It shoots Berger 108's at 2975. I don't know why they go so fast. With the Dasher I have shot 5 shots at .04 inches at 100 yards. They're all good, as you say, but I think the Dasher stands out.
6 Dasher or 6 GT. Dasher is super accurate and really easy to load for, super efficient and ultra low ES/SDs across wide range of loads. 6 GT Alpha OCD Brass is the ultimate brass and can shoot a number of powders in it.
Very cool project. What a pleasure the YT algorithm showed me your video. 🙂 I think it would be awesome if you build a 6x47 Lapua. The idea of a second barrel with a other chamber is cool but for the usual customer unusable because the normal user i guess couldn't change it precisely enough.
Do the switch barrel 6 BR and XC . I compete with 6 PPC 64 and 68 grain bullets ,6 BR will shoot 80 and 105 nicely on a 8 twist .6 BRA only 105 ,108 on 8 twist . 6 XC 105 ,108, 115 nicely on a 7.5 twist . Each build has a different shooting discipline for me to complete with . I have an interest in a GT maybe someday but the XC has it covered at this time . Love what you put out keep up the great work . Happy Holidays
Great clip! I'm a PRS shooter who's been running 6.5CR and looking at which 6mm to chamber. 6mm Dasher dominates in competition. 6BR and 6BRA offer less recoil and a little more time to settle and see impacts. 6GT allows standard AICS mags and feeds well (although MDT BR mags apparently solve the problem). Looking at PrecisionRifleBlog and what the pros use, it's really hard to good to go past the 6mm Dasher.
The 6mm cartridge just blows me away. I shoot Berger 105’s in my 6mm creedmoor (and I have some Berger 115’s loaded up for hunting, but I haven’t heard very good things about their hunting bullets), and it’s almost comical how accurate it is. With ZERO load development, I literally thought I missed the target with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shot, because they all went through the same hole! And I have seen 6 Dashers that could blow my creedmoor away! Can’t go wrong with any of them really, but my next rifle may be a 6 Dasher, so that would probably be my vote. However you go, I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
Just the video I wanted to see! I’m building my next rifle using Defiance Action, Shilen SS select match grade barrel, Triggertech special, AG composite stock and now I’m making the final decision on caliber. Lean is 6GT but still weighing my options.
Hornady is now producing 6gt brass commercially. They were producing exclusively for GA precision (George Gardner) but have now pushed it out commercially
@ obviously alpha brass is better. But he was talking about that he thought that someone was making a factory option for 6gt. My point is that hornady just announced that they are going to be selling brass commercial so there is a chance that they may do a factory offering at some point for those who don’t reload.
@InfamousTactical I see what you mean, but I would think that a high percentage of people who would buy a $6000 plus rifle would be handloading for it? Nobody I'm aware of chambers factory rifles in 6gt, so it seems to me that factory ammo for 6gt would be a colossal waste of time. You wouldn't put regular unleaded in a Lamborghini right?
Just recently found your channel. I'm 64 and have hunted and shot rifle competition most of my life. My passion is long range precision/competition 600/1000 etc... and do all my own Reloading for all of my custom builds. I have 3 custom builds in McMillan Stocks. One A3 and two A5 three color Stock's. Yes all of mine are a 3 color blend. I am completely baffled as to why they told you that they can't do a 3 color stock. I will gladly keeping up with what you're building. Just had to put in my 2 cents on the McMillan Stock's that doesn't make any sense!
Are you referring to Ron Spomer on the 6mm hunting rifle by chance? His last episode he was talking about re-barreling his 6mm rem to a 6xc or something similar.
Getting the gun built is the easy part these days. Finding reloading components is the real challenge now. I’m changing from a 6BRA to a Dasher simply because of the powder availability.
Man, what a great collaboration with Weatherby reloading, since the reamer guy is coming how about a 6BRA, and a 6GT I'm shooting a 6 Creedmoor i'd love to have you build me a rifle might be in touch
Nice video, thanks. I'd build a 6GT. Two questions, first, what is the up charge for labor for a second barrel and second, what is the current lead time for a build?
Out to 300 yards 6 BR, more choices in custom bullets. Out to 600 yards 6x47 and Peterson makes excellent brass for it. If you want a 6 PPC that uses 105gr bullets that would basically be a 6mm ARC.
@@timberghost9057 I have a 6 ARC Gas Gun and a 6x47 bolt action. Love both and are vary accurate. But developing the 6 ARC loads fed by an AR mag was like trying to balance a bowling ball on a broom stick.
Any one of those will make bugholes...I have 4 6xc's 1 6creedmoore 4 260 rem 1 65x284, and 1 260AI all shoot great...gonna be a fun rifle...Great Vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I been thinking of putting a 6 GT together. I have a Br for lower weight bullets, thinking on one with a twist for long heavy bullets . Guess I’m not the one to ask 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t shoot competition just like accurate rifle’s! My question to you is what do you think the odds of getting a longer barrel that will perform as good as the shorter barrels the bench rest shooters use on average? I figured the gun builder must slug the barrel to know the best to cut,chamber, and crown the barrel ? I like you want the longest barrel for optimal reloading performance. Just haven’t had that many custom guns to know.
Built a 6mm remington on remington 700 LA . 108gr at 2936fps long fast twist barrel. Would love to put it up against any other 6mm. Would love to have another 6mm Built but want the 6mm remington or high case capacity.
2 gt barrels would be great! Hornady loads factory ammo among some custom ammo manufacturers. 6gt is one of the hottest comp chambers at the moment. I do a lot of hunting with a 6 creed but my favorite chambering is that gt family I have two 6gt and one 22 gt
Hornady loads for 6GT. It is however very hard to get a hold of. My vote is for the 6Gt. I’m running a Proof prefit in an Impact action with a TT diamond trigger on a Manners PRS 2 stock. I’m on my second barrel. Both barrels shot under half inch groups. Prefit barrels in my opinion not as precise as a good Smith can achieve. A real strong plus for the 6GT is it’s super easy to load for. Every charge just seems to preform. It almost pick the speed you want and go with it. Low SD and ES’s with every charge. At least out of my barrels.
6 gt I’m shooting 109 Hornady, defiance ruckus, proof competition profile on a spuhr chassis.. getting 3015 fps.. single hole at a 100yds.. it folds white tail.. better than any custom rifle I’ve ever had! If you’re looking, get the GT
In a 4 hour window, by the looks of it the predominant cartridge is for the 6GT. If Hornady makes ammo available it would be my choice also. I am looking at the 6GT for my next new toy.
As a long range benchrest shooter, for ease a maintenance it would be an easy choice to do a straight BR. If I was doing anything other than a straight BR it would be a BRA. I’ve been running a bra for the last few seasons and love it. It just wants to shoot. I built one dasher and it was a headache for me. The bra was just as easy as a normal BR for me in my last several barrels.
I'd prefer a 6mm rem to 243..but...ended up with 243... Where does the accuracy of a cartridge lie?...given the gun build is equal... Thanks for the video...
Im hoping to see a 6GT ,Im currently shooting a Hardy Hybrid in 6GT and can shoot .25" 5 shot groups ,Im not a good shot . Be great to see what a good shot can achieve.
I shoot PRS and run a Dasher. (My first PRS bolt gun. Shot gas gun the first few years of PRS) For those that handload Dasher is the easy button. Now, I decided I wanted a backup/trainer bolt gun. So I got with my builder and said hey, I want a trainer, let's go 6 ARC. (Was already running it in gas gun so logistically it made complete sense and he already had the reamers) Let's just say in a bolt gun that little cartridge really comes alive. I use 105 hybrids loaded with Vihtavouri N140. Avg velocity is 2722 fps and recoil is ridiculously low. To be honest, I almost prefer it over the Dasher. I did start using the 6 ARC for one day matches and reserve the Dasher for two day matches. (Extend the barrel life on the Dasher was my justification. lol) Obviously the rifles are set up nearly identical so to switch back and forth is seamless. (Just have to remember to switch the guns in the kestrel)
depends on bbl length and goals with how heavy a bullet....dont need big case with 103-105 gr bullet and 30" bbl 6br case capacity 39 gr ........6 creed 51 gr water
The 6GT would say or get the 6PPC reamer made for the 105gr to 110gr bullets to just touch the lands!?The 6PPC would be my choice for 110gr Sierras or 110 A-Tips from Hornady.Something different and would be great to find out the velocities and components for such a cartridge composition!
Best show by far and top work on rifles,like an surgen.Which I could one day have one like this build by you!Happy Christmas and Prosprous Newyear with lots of orders and good health!Kindly Ernst Scholz
6x284 pushes 105s about 3200fps max. Now 243 wssm in a 1:8 twist can push them 3250 before experincing bolt lift. But my favorite is 6GT. Runs 3000 fps with 34.5 gr varget with 105 hybrids. Put some Superformance in it and you can push 3200 plus with no bolt lift. It also feeds great in a standard SA.
I run 2x 6mm'br a dasher a 6xc heavy gun and a 6.5x47lapua Whats interesting is that little dasher built like a ppc with a 13 twist will shoot a 60gn fb bullet at 4000fps with about 38gn of powder (105 freebore ) great varmit setup + Really efficient- doing everything a 243win doing with 10gn less powder. In my opinion all of the cartridges ive mentioned will shoot dots - i do really like the 6.5x47lapua - its has been like a 6br to tune and is easy on barrels 👍
I know this is a long shot, but did you know a man named Ed Cox, from Pocatello (American Falls area)? if you two were not very interested in near perfect accuracy i wouldn't even think that you might.
I seriously want your opinion on either a 7mm STW down to a 257 or 6mm/243 or 7mm rem mag to 6mm with 35 to 40° shoulder. Is this possible? Ok ya it's possible but I guess what I'm asking is it worth doing for the ultimate 6mm hunting rifle?
I would like to add another comment that if both you and I live long enough for me to save my money I will come see you for a rifle build. Love you honesty and passion
That mortality issue.... interferes with our best plans. Thanks.
6 BRA wins a lot of tournaments at 600 and 1000 in N.C. I.B.S shoots.
No doubt, I need a helluva lot more monetary resources so I can own them all to enjoy, it's like a crime if we can only choose one @@seanbrown7954
6GT for sure with 105 hybrids
Reloading Weatherby is one of my favorite channels, and he has a good sense of humor also. I vote 6GT.
Agreed......seems like a good guy. He is going to teach me about RUclips, I will teach him about accuracy. Thanks.
I shoot 6gt in a prs gun and consistently get .2inch groups off a bipod and bag and would love to see the raw accuracy capabilities of the cartridge out of a bench gun with benchrest brass prep and loading standards! I love the videos!!! Keep up the good work!

love the 6mm calibers. it just shows that 6mm calibers dominate the BR and some other competition. thanks for sharing
Agreed; best bullets, best barrels..................thanks.
Barrel #1 6 GT
Barrel #2 6/6.5 PRC
Thanks for all the great info!

Should have read that before building a 6XC ;-)

Same with the 6 Creed. That offers more velocity than the XC, but at the cost of raw precision.
I would be interested in knowing your thoughts on why more PRS shooters are using more dashers, creedmores, and GT than 6mm-47L? Thanks in advance.
@kevinlee5122 I could do a video on this. There's too much to say to answer that question in these comments. Maybe I'll do a video and piggyback off of this one.

You talked me into it. Make it a 6PPC I’ll bring the 103VT’s and consider it sold. That guns going to hammer. So excited to see this one.
Merry Christmas............................thanks.
My vote is for the dasher. Very interesting and just a neat cartridge
I’m sure whatever one you choose will shoot awesome but if I had to pick one I’d pick the 6xc, keep up the great content, cheers Yogi ✌️🇦🇺
You need to build another 6 Gt( Gay Tiger ) and paint some black strips on the stock.Hornady is making factory rounds and Lapua is going to make brass as well, it will be the next hot cartage for PRS. Cheers Joe Australia. PS keep up the great work.
It's Christmas time, so here we go, calling Santa's first reindeer. Now, Dasher! Merry Christmas!

Can you share information regarding the "Brass solids hollow point with black polymer tipped" ? Is that the Nosler Varmageddon?
Dear Sir - very interesting, really appreciated.........................thank you. Merry Christmas.
Cutting Edge Bullets?
Yes sir
6x47 lapua is my vote. My 6.5x47 lapua is my favorite little varmint cartridge
6 GT or 6x47 Lapua, either one would be awesome. 6 gt might be a little easier to find ammo . Good luck with the choices. Hornady just started making 6 gt ammo.
I would love to see you build the one you briefly mentioned. The 6mm Remington and Ackley Improve it. With 110's or 115's that would be an absolute hammer 🔨.

I think the 6xc is an excellent cartridge. Love mine.
Ive been out of shooting for almost 20 years now. I guess the good ole 243 Ackley is out of favor. Love the 6mm's.
6 Creedmoor almost the same
Add a 1:8 twist barrel and give it new life 105gn +
6mm Creedmoor is higher pressure, faster AND more accurate due to the chamber design, AND, factory ammunition is available.
6 BR always!
It is a great cartridge.............................thanks.
Looking forward to coming up and learning from you! I guess my vote is 6 GT?
Epic............can't wait. 6GT it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a bech gun I think the 6BR or the Dasher. Even at the mid range or long range they both perform and are just super easy to load for
6mm GT, has just enough extra horsepower to really get those 105's going good. I guess it will takeover the Dasher in the next few years.
Good design...........................thanks.
Can't go wrong with 6GT. Alpha Munitions brass is by far the best brass to use with this cartridge. Extremely strong and consistent.
I know it wasn’t one of the choices, but I’d really like to see the 6-284! I’ve daydreamed about this cartridge for years.
Dear Sir - just spoke with a man who owns one - hard on barrels, 3,700+ fps ! Thanks.................
No love for the 6mm rem?
Go with the Dasher. I have the BR, BRA, and Dasher and the Dasher is the most fun. It shoots Berger 108's at 2975. I don't know why they go so fast. With the Dasher I have shot 5 shots at .04 inches at 100 yards. They're all good, as you say, but I think the Dasher stands out.

Love the Scout image to start!
Appreciated..............my daughter learned it verbatim at five. Merry Christmas.
Do the switch barrel 6 BR and XC . I compete with 6 PPC 64 and 68 grain bullets ,6 BR will shoot 80 and 105 nicely on a 8 twist .6 BRA only 105 ,108 on 8 twist . 6 XC 105 ,108, 115 nicely on a 7.5 twist . Each build has a different shooting discipline for me to complete with . I have an interest in a GT maybe someday but the XC has it covered at this time . Love what you put out keep up the great work . Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas..............................thanks.
6GT. I love 6BRA but out of this line up, 6GT. Hands down.
6mmPPC in a sako. Best of the pack, bar none!
Dear Sir - these are custom rifles...........thanks.
6 x 47 Lapua would be my vote only because I am a fan of all things Lapua.
Great clip! I'm a PRS shooter who's been running 6.5CR and looking at which 6mm to chamber. 6mm Dasher dominates in competition. 6BR and 6BRA offer less recoil and a little more time to settle and see impacts. 6GT allows standard AICS mags and feeds well (although MDT BR mags apparently solve the problem). Looking at PrecisionRifleBlog and what the pros use, it's really hard to good to go past the 6mm Dasher.
Appreciated.........thank you. Merry Christmas.
The 6mm cartridge just blows me away. I shoot Berger 105’s in my 6mm creedmoor (and I have some Berger 115’s loaded up for hunting, but I haven’t heard very good things about their hunting bullets), and it’s almost comical how accurate it is. With ZERO load development, I literally thought I missed the target with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shot, because they all went through the same hole! And I have seen 6 Dashers that could blow my creedmoor away! Can’t go wrong with any of them really, but my next rifle may be a 6 Dasher, so that would probably be my vote. However you go, I can’t wait to see how this turns out!
6GT intrigues me most. 🎉
6x47!! 💯
Just the video I wanted to see!
I’m building my next rifle using Defiance Action, Shilen SS select match grade barrel, Triggertech special, AG composite stock and now I’m making the final decision on caliber.
Lean is 6GT but still weighing my options.
Hornady is now producing 6gt brass commercially. They were producing exclusively for GA precision (George Gardner) but have now pushed it out commercially
Alpha also makes 6gt brass, which is 10x better than Hornady brass for the kind of consistency and accuracy he's looking for.
@ obviously alpha brass is better. But he was talking about that he thought that someone was making a factory option for 6gt. My point is that hornady just announced that they are going to be selling brass commercial so there is a chance that they may do a factory offering at some point for those who don’t reload.
@InfamousTactical I see what you mean, but I would think that a high percentage of people who would buy a $6000 plus rifle would be handloading for it? Nobody I'm aware of chambers factory rifles in 6gt, so it seems to me that factory ammo for 6gt would be a colossal waste of time. You wouldn't put regular unleaded in a Lamborghini right?
Just recently found your channel. I'm 64 and have hunted and shot rifle competition most of my life. My passion is long range precision/competition 600/1000 etc... and do all my own Reloading for all of my custom builds. I have 3 custom builds in McMillan Stocks. One A3 and two A5 three color Stock's. Yes all of mine are a 3 color blend. I am completely baffled as to why they told you that they can't do a 3 color stock. I will gladly keeping up with what you're building. Just had to put in my 2 cents on the McMillan Stock's that doesn't make any sense!
Are you referring to Ron Spomer on the 6mm hunting rifle by chance? His last episode he was talking about re-barreling his 6mm rem to a 6xc or something similar.
No, not Ron.........................random customer. Thanks.
Scout law guideline for life.
One in 6 GT, and the other in 6 Dasher, just for the variety.
Getting the gun built is the easy part these days. Finding reloading components is the real challenge now. I’m changing from a 6BRA to a Dasher simply because of the powder availability.
Man, what a great collaboration with Weatherby reloading, since the reamer guy is coming how about a 6BRA, and a 6GT I'm shooting a 6 Creedmoor i'd love to have you build me a rifle might be in touch
had a 6CM and switched to 6GT and very happy with it. Alpha brass is great and Lapua brass coming pout soon
Nice video, thanks. I'd build a 6GT. Two questions, first, what is the up charge for labor for a second barrel and second, what is the current lead time for a build?
Just contact us..................................thanks.
Out to 300 yards 6 BR, more choices in custom bullets. Out to 600 yards 6x47 and Peterson makes excellent brass for it. If you want a 6 PPC that uses 105gr bullets that would basically be a 6mm ARC.
@rustynut1967 I shoot a 6 arc bolt action .It's really a fun rifle.
@@timberghost9057 I have a 6 ARC Gas Gun and a 6x47 bolt action. Love both and are vary accurate. But developing the 6 ARC loads fed by an AR mag was like trying to balance a bowling ball on a broom stick.
6 xc is made by Norma with factory load 105 gr bullet and there is at least 2 factory made brass
My vote would go to the 6GT. I've been wanting to build on myself.
6mm dasher is my vote.
What about the 240 Weatherby in that brass is available for that?
6 GT since I heard a lot about that particular cartridge and the "science" behind them is sound.
Any one of those will make bugholes...I have 4 6xc's 1 6creedmoore 4 260 rem 1 65x284, and 1 260AI all shoot great...gonna be a fun rifle...Great Vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I been thinking of putting a 6 GT together. I have a Br for lower weight bullets, thinking on one with a twist for long heavy bullets . Guess I’m not the one to ask 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t shoot competition just like accurate rifle’s! My question to you is what do you think the odds of getting a longer barrel that will perform as good as the shorter barrels the bench rest shooters use on average? I figured the gun builder must slug the barrel to know the best to cut,chamber, and crown the barrel ? I like you want the longest barrel for optimal reloading performance. Just haven’t had that many custom guns to know.
Too much for here....................contact directly. Thanks.
The 6GT would be an excellent round!
Built a 6mm remington on remington 700 LA . 108gr at 2936fps long fast twist barrel. Would love to put it up against any other 6mm. Would love to have another 6mm Built but want the 6mm remington or high case capacity.
One of the little 6's and a 6×284 for the second one for rock chucks . May have to add wt to the butt stock. I did. Like your components, enjoy
2 gt barrels would be great! Hornady loads factory ammo among some custom ammo manufacturers. 6gt is one of the hottest comp chambers at the moment.
I do a lot of hunting with a 6 creed but my favorite chambering is that gt family I have two 6gt and one 22 gt
Wouldnt a 6ppc shooting heavies...be a 6mm arc?
Yes
Hornady loads for 6GT. It is however very hard to get a hold of. My vote is for the 6Gt. I’m running a Proof prefit in an Impact action with a TT diamond trigger on a Manners PRS 2 stock. I’m on my second barrel. Both barrels shot under half inch groups. Prefit barrels in my opinion not as precise as a good Smith can achieve. A real strong plus for the 6GT is it’s super easy to load for. Every charge just seems to preform. It almost pick the speed you want and go with it. Low SD and ES’s with every charge. At least out of my barrels.
Excellent.............thank you. Merry Christmas.
My vote is for the 6GT. sure to be a hammer!
How do you form 284 Winchester cases into 6/284?
6 BR or Dasher! Both great little, efficient and insanely accurate cartridges
6 gt I’m shooting 109 Hornady, defiance ruckus, proof competition profile on a spuhr chassis.. getting 3015 fps.. single hole at a 100yds.. it folds white tail.. better than any custom rifle I’ve ever had! If you’re looking, get the GT
Love my BR but would go with the 6GT. Looking forewords to the collaboration between you n Austin.
Merry Christmas.....................
In a 4 hour window, by the looks of it the predominant cartridge is for the 6GT. If Hornady makes ammo available it would be my choice also. I am looking at the 6GT for my next new toy.
As a long range benchrest shooter, for ease a maintenance it would be an easy choice to do a straight BR. If I was doing anything other than a straight BR it would be a BRA. I’ve been running a bra for the last few seasons and love it. It just wants to shoot. I built one dasher and it was a headache for me. The bra was just as easy as a normal BR for me in my last several barrels.
Thanks for the insight..................Merry Christmas.
i believe there is a norma oryx factory ammo in 6xc but it's not a match ammo by any means.
6 gt or 6x47 my vote
I'd prefer a 6mm rem to 243..but...ended up with 243...
Where does the accuracy of a cartridge lie?...given the gun build is equal...
Thanks for the video...
Too much for this format......................Merry Christmas.
I think another 6GT would be interesting to see. I like the idea of a 6x47 Lapua too. Are you building this for yourself or to list on your site?
Dear Sir - So Reloading Weatherby can experience bench-gun, then will probably let it go so I can build something else. Merry Christmas...........
@@quarterminutemagnums Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks for the video yall enjoyed it. My vote gos to the 6x47 lupua or 6 creedmoor. Thanks again y’all keep up the good work God bless
Do you build ELR guns? Big bore guns?
Dear Sir - depends................Merry Christmas.
Im hoping to see a 6GT ,Im currently shooting a Hardy Hybrid in 6GT and can shoot .25" 5 shot groups ,Im not a good shot . Be great to see what a good shot can achieve.
I shoot PRS and run a Dasher. (My first PRS bolt gun. Shot gas gun the first few years of PRS) For those that handload Dasher is the easy button. Now, I decided I wanted a backup/trainer bolt gun. So I got with my builder and said hey, I want a trainer, let's go 6 ARC. (Was already running it in gas gun so logistically it made complete sense and he already had the reamers) Let's just say in a bolt gun that little cartridge really comes alive. I use 105 hybrids loaded with Vihtavouri N140. Avg velocity is 2722 fps and recoil is ridiculously low. To be honest, I almost prefer it over the Dasher. I did start using the 6 ARC for one day matches and reserve the Dasher for two day matches. (Extend the barrel life on the Dasher was my justification. lol) Obviously the rifles are set up nearly identical so to switch back and forth is seamless. (Just have to remember to switch the guns in the kestrel)
Cool.............................thanks.
depends on bbl length and goals with how heavy a bullet....dont need big case with 103-105 gr bullet and 30" bbl
6br case capacity 39 gr ........6 creed 51 gr water
The 6GT would say or get the 6PPC reamer made for the 105gr to 110gr bullets to just touch the lands!?The 6PPC would be my choice for 110gr Sierras or 110 A-Tips from Hornady.Something different and would be great to find out the velocities and components for such a cartridge composition!
Agreed........................Merry Christmas.
Best show by far and top work on rifles,like an surgen.Which I could one day have one like this build by you!Happy Christmas and Prosprous Newyear with lots of orders and good health!Kindly Ernst Scholz
6GT keep on growing and will have factory Hornady ammo for 2025. Would be an interesting choice
6GT💪🏼
6x284 pushes 105s about 3200fps max. Now 243 wssm in a 1:8 twist can push them 3250 before experincing bolt lift. But my favorite is 6GT. Runs 3000 fps with 34.5 gr varget with 105 hybrids. Put some Superformance in it and you can push 3200 plus with no bolt lift. It also feeds great in a standard SA.
Good information.....................thanks.
Surprised that I didn't see the 6 ARC and the PPC. So many excellent choices... MAGA
I run 2x 6mm'br a dasher a 6xc heavy gun and a 6.5x47lapua
Whats interesting is that little dasher built like a ppc with a 13 twist will shoot a 60gn fb bullet at 4000fps with about 38gn of powder (105 freebore ) great varmit setup + Really efficient- doing everything a 243win doing with 10gn less powder.
In my opinion all of the cartridges ive mentioned will shoot dots - i do really like the 6.5x47lapua - its has been like a 6br to tune and is easy on barrels 👍
Agreed - thank you.
I know this is a long shot, but did you know a man named Ed Cox, from Pocatello (American Falls area)? if you two were not very interested in near perfect accuracy i wouldn't even think that you might.
One BR and one Creedmoor to compare the case capacities and capability 🇺🇲👍
6 GT FOR FOR THE WIN
With a stock like that, how could you not go 6GT?
There's a lot of 6 GT factory ammo out there.
Trust your gut! 6GT
I seriously want your opinion on either a 7mm STW down to a 257 or 6mm/243 or 7mm rem mag to 6mm with 35 to 40° shoulder. Is this possible? Ok ya it's possible but I guess what I'm asking is it worth doing for the ultimate 6mm hunting rifle?
Dear Sir - 6mm x .284 Lapua is about maximum, still very hard on barrels. Thanks.
6 GT would be my choice. 🐁
Have you built a 6ARC?
Not yet...............Merry Christmas.
