Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Who"s shooting a 6mm Super LR

I owned a 6.5 Super LR and would do it again over the 260 I had previously. Better case design, exact same ballistic (velocity) performance but more consistent and easier to tune.

FWIW, anyone looking for dies I would recommend Whidden. I owned a Redding and a Whidden set for the 6.5 and the Whiddens were superb, and cheaper than Redding. The Redding set gave around 0.005" runout, even with the VLD seat stem, Whiddens averaged 0.001". Never tracked down the cause of the runout with the Reddings, but both die sets were set up identical.

Don't over look the 6x47 Lapua in a 6mm search. Great brass. Easy to make. Easy to tune and fast.

Also in these size cases Ive been having good luck with RL17. Good Velocity and Accuracy and its been available locally.

RL-17 and the X47 Lapua go together like peas a carrots!

I run 47.6gr of H-1000 in mine with 115 dtacs. 4350 is going to knaw your throat up in short order if you shoot it too quick. Mine shot well with 42-42.4 gr of H4350 but settled on the H1000 load for longevity.
