Brad, I have a 6BR with a 26" barrel and I use the 75 Vmax, 32.6 grains of 2208 and a CCI450. Lapua brass of course. Its an awesome load and very accurate. I don't buy anything else if I can get some 75 Vmax's.

Trevor, you have changed over the years! Your doctor should be congratulated.

Thanks for that! I'll look him up and find out what he has.

Ok so I am looking for a walnut stock maker and now that Geoff Slee is gone, I am having trouble finding who has filled that gap. Does anyone know, or do I have to import one?

Beautiful rifle! Chambered in the awesome 6BR and 22BR........makes me tear up just looking at it.

Surely about $3000 Trev. I'd love to own that one!

I think I would buy one over a Rem nowadays. Do they have the same hole pattern for scope bases as the Rem 700? Then I could put my Nightforce bases and scope on!

Dave

Rem 700 VLS in 6mmBR, barrel is about 25 inches and it reliably feeds about 3 rounds in the magazine but I tend to use it as a single shot. I normally load the 70 grain NBT, they are devastating out of the 6BR. Scope is a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50. I like the illuminated reticle too. Awesome fun! Dave

I agree with Sam, use some WD40 or similar. It is death to a primer straight away and no waiting.

Awesome stuff, I love them both.

Dave

Use the BM2, it is a faster burn and suitable for that bullet weight. Like Sam said, don't be 8 grains out though.

Cheers

Yes I would be checking the scales for the correct weight of powder, they may be faulty if 33 grains is only half a full case. If they are under charged that would explain the sooty cases. In my 6BR, a charge of 33 grains leaves a wavy line around the case neck and very good accuracy on targets/fluf...

I got a bit of movement when I looked at that rifle!
Absolutely awesome AI.

Dave

You and Shane have done it again AI. That is a very nice rifle. I have almost arrived at the 6.5x47 Lapua being my next build. I need a stock like that too!

Dave

Here's a couple you can work with as well although I don't shoot the 65 Vmax but with the 75 Vmax I load CCI BR4's and 32.6 grains of 2208. I also load the 70 grain NBT or 70 grain Speer TNT with 33 grains of 2208 and CCI 450's. I have tried the 60 grain Sierra Varminters with BM2 but can't find the...
