Your best bet will be to obtain (or make) both a draw die, and a pinch-trim die, then draw-down from 6mm jacket(s) & pinch to length. Should you have access to a lathe/collet attachment, you could make a collet and single-point trim to length. Good luck. RG

When it comes to, "accurizing", center-fire rifles, you'll find Mr. Nyhus difficult to best - a great source of information/knowledge, and willing to share! Too bad you're relegated to THE FORBIDDEN ZONE - besides Al, you'll have to contend with several, other "misfits", who despite the, ZONING...

Welcome aboard, Hans.:) If you have not already done so, "contact/PM Al Nyhus" - you won't be disappointed. RG

Damn, Charlie, you make that so simple . . . :DRG

Jim, condolences to you and and family. With the passing of George, a BR foundation stone, we are diminished.

Keith's calls will be greatly missed. Surely, Keith rests in paradise. Thank you, Dave.

As of today, 4/23/2024, Jeff Crose has updated and posted the NBRSA Short Range Hall of Fame ranckings for both Hunter & Varmint for Score Calsses. Thank you, Jeff!:eek: Keep 'em ON the X! RG

So long as there is no way the first 0.030" (+/- a little) of the "tip can get into the act, I agree. That said, using a few bullets, any/all [new] seater stems are for a near perfect match, and dedicated to specific point-die nose configuration. RG

The bullet "tip"/me'plat should never touch the seater stem. Bullet cores, within +/- 0.1 Gr. will vary less than 0.002" in length - very unlikely a cause of nose length:diameter variation. Back to the initial point: if the me'plat touched the stem cavity, you can/should expect relatively LARGE...

The SR Score HoF points have not been [publicly] updated for some time. Recently, yours truly assumed the HoF reins, and has been working with NBRSA web-Master, Jeff Crose, to get the all-time points standings (NBRSA only) formatted and posted on the NBRSA web-site. Mr. Crose has been extremely...

Steve, originally, the Sporter class was limited to 8X scope magnification, and the .23 Cal., or larger, was intended to develop cartridges other the .222 Remington and derivatives. As I recall, the 8X scope morphed into anything goes within four seasons. Interestingly, once the "logic" of...

OliveOil, while you make some good points (reminiscent of days gone by), in NBRSA Hunter Class tournaments, we have been coping without the caliber & case-capacity restrictions since about 2014, when both the caliber and case-capacity restriction were eliminated - there has been no appreciable...

OliveOil, while these are valid considerations, the lengthening of the jacket occurs only at the core-face : jacket-wall junction - the result of the core bleed-by initiating a "pinch". We are exceeding neither the tensile strength, nor, the elastic limit of the gilding metal. As noted by Dave...

Per Doc's statement - highlighted [above] in red, when using stitched bags, which allow the stock to ride on the stitched "flat", I tend get more vertical, as compared to using the same bag, with "old-school" round bottomed butt stocks. With stitched bags, I shoot noticeably better using the...

Were I granted, "king for a day" authority, I'd dictate the following rules for NBRSA HUNTER Class (BTW "Hunter Rifle", has always been a COMPLETE misnomer): 6X Class; weight limit 10.5 Lb.; maximum fore-end width 3.0"; maximum scope magnification 6X (or, variable magnification set and taped at...

Technically, NO (red below) - I'd just allow any LV/Sporter so long as it had either a fixed 6X scope, or, a variable, set and taped at 6X.o_O:D Literally all of the original rules, in the beginning aimed at keeping the .222 Rem.(and derivatives - and later, the PPC) at bay were just a bunch of...

An "updated glass version" - "ED" quality coatings and premium glass. The Myer scope proved the worth of lens quality - looking through my 6X Meyer, people usually declare it to be about 9X!o_O The problem was the weight - a whopping 29.6 ounces! :eek: To venture even nearer the slippery-slope...

Hello, John! Happy NEW YEAR! Following wrecking RATON, R U walking on the ground yet?;) Best Regards, RG

A wild guess is that the OP has a, "old school" chamber. o_O At the DATUM point .200" ahead of the bolt-face, all of the original Remington 6mm/ & 7mm BR brass, which I have & have had, feature diameters between 0.4635 and 0.4640" (same for the Rem. ,308 UBR - small primer full length .308)...
