It seems that Robert Whitley has the come up with the solution to an non existent problem! In addition to David’s individual cleans, I coached him to a 200-13X @ 1000 yards at Atterbury and never a hiccup with “sticky bolt lift” that Robert speaks.

I agree with Mikee.. Never had any issues with the my original 6XC reamer. using the same A7 Tool steel SSS reloading die since Mid 2000’s. New Norma factory brass measures .4675″.
Shot 115’s at 3200 fps and cleaned all the 1000’s at Atterbury.
Go Figure,

If you run a 6.5x47L or 6x47L and want to try large primers, try forming from 6XC or 6CX II Brass.

The large primers run much more consistent over a chronograph than the Lapua small primer brass… especially in cold/winter weather.

Having shot over 3000 Norma 6XC and over 2000 22-250 fireformed into 6XC since 2007, I have never encountered the “sticky bolt” syndrome in a Surgeon and Quadlite action. Maybe the sticky bolt is possible with very hot loads? The normal 6XC dies from Forster and Redding do the job just fine – I have both.

So what’s the best commercially available ammo for this chamber and what is the cost. I don’t want to reload. I just want to shoot- accurately. Also, I would like to take a crack at building one. Bolt or AR.

6mm 250 is easy to make. Has been around for decades.
