OFFHAND, I hope my wife gets home early today, after seeing your rifle I think I,m in love again. eastbank
 
Here's a head's up for 6BR competition shooters. Jim Carstensen of JLC Precision now offers his bullet seating die in 6BR. These are beautifully made chamber type (Wilson) seating dies with precise, micrometer type calibrated "click" adjustments. I've used his 6ppc seating dies for several years, as have many other benchrest shooters, and happy to have same in 6BR. JIm is an accomplished bench shooter himself and is a persnickety machinist.

I checked this out and it is very impressive. Cannot wait to see if he comes out with it in 6br.

I think I understand why he is buying it all up, and why bullets.com has discontiued 6br but picked up 6Dasher Norma, and how NAMMO group fits into this, and why Berger moved 2 of their facilities, and why bullets.com now is the SOLE importer for 6 Lapua Norma brass, why there is such a shortage, etc. I have a major alarm going off now. The future will tell. Probably the best indicator of it being the truth will be the cost of 6br Lapua Norma brass when supply is restored. More on that later. Beware.
 
I read something to the effect that Lapua was changing their distribution model, going away from distributors and to direct sales in the US.

I'll try to find it again

Very topical thread for me as I have a 6 Dasher in the works. The plan is to use it in F Open. Mid range to start. Long range later.

What are your plans for a stock? I think the one in my avatar would be acceptable but not sure specs on butt stock angle. My understanding is that it has to have at least some slant?

I aquired a previously owned Kelbly Panda action in a Kelbly stock as the basis for this project

Off to a super start. Which model of Kelby? I am asking because I recently looked into f-class and found out they have specs on butt stock angle. The only way I can make sense of that is that it puts everyone on a level playing field...as it relates to recoil effects of sliding straight back on the bags vs. figuring it in as part of technique. I hope that makes sense...just something I have been pondering.

It’s a KTM with adjustable cheek rest and 3-way adjustable butt plate. I just read the rules again and didn’t see that restriction. I’ll go back and re-read it. I’ve only shot 2 F-T/R matches so far (got my 3rd coming up this weekend) so I’m no expert by any stretch

Just went to Kelbly site. Not seeing KTM. Could it be KTS? That stock is such a great beginning to a true competition build.

What will you be using for brass?
 
Can you imagine having a customer base as anal as reloaders? They take every piece of your product, weigh it, measure thickness, concentricty, length, fill it with water, repeatedly subject it to extreme pressures, reform it, measure it again, Etc....

And we wonder why more companies aren't making brass for us in obscure chamberings

I do believe it is an addiction, in which indulgence in the addiction feeds an industry that cannot keep up with demand. The wildcatters have taken cases, resized for another caliber, and challenged manufacturers to keep up. While understanding their positions and limitations, I am still perplexed why these companies allow protracted nationwide shortages of the base cases from which these wildcat calibers derive.
