Nice , that's awesome.
Any update on 6.8 western yet?

Sorry, not at this time

 

[Coueskiller43]

When is your next run of 7 PRC?

Is the 25 Creemoor LRP going to make it into a run soon?

Nice read, makes a lot of sense on what you need on your end to bring products to the market.

Nice that you are able to work with Weatherby to supply them and also handloaders. Having a good source of premium brass in North America is a big plus for everyone.

I didnt see in the article that they supply weatherby? Do you have a source for this?

I can't remember off hand where I saw it now. Might have been on the Nosler forum. The big rounds based off the 378 rounds are made by someone else probably Norma still.

@Petersen Cartridge Co can you confirm anything about this?

I'm using your LRP 6CM brass with very good results. What are your recommendations for number of firings before annealing? Thanks for making a great product.

Peterson Cartridge Now Producing 6mm ARC

Peterson Cartridge is excited to announce that it is now producing the 6mm ARC, developed in collaboration with and sold exclusively through Geissele Automatics. The joint effort of this partnership has produced a casing using a proprietary manufacturing process developed by Peterson Cartridge President, Derek Peterson, to eliminate the “machine gun bulge” issue.

“We knew we didn’t want to release our version of this caliber until we solved the bulge issue,” says Peterson. “It was one of the key issues for us.”

Introduced by Hornady in 2020 as a low-recoil, highly accurate long-range cartridge for the M16, the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) has quickly gained popularity among hunters, competition shooters, and personal defense enthusiasts. The 6mm ARC features better ballistics than the .223/5.56 and can be fired from both bolt action and gas guns.

Available from a wide range of gun manufacturers and featuring an impressive assortment of bullet options to load with, the 6mm ARC exhibits less drop and wind deflection than other calibers in its class. Couple that with the calibers low recoil, which allows shooters to spot their own shots, and the ability to shoot accurate groups at greater distances (1,000 yards plus), and it’s easy to see why so many people have taken notice of this round.

You can find the Peterson Cartridge 6mm ARC at www.geissele.com

Annealing is a touchy subject when you really dig into any info out there as to the frequency of the process. Personally, i anneal every firing for my match rifles (6x47). For my hunting rifles i normally anneal every 5th firing or so. my reasoning for this is that my match brass sees a lot more use than my hunting brass. it may take me a few years to get through my batch of hunting brass to where its all been fired and reprocessed.

If you are looking for the maximum longevity like i do with my match brass, i would recommend annealing every firing with an AMP annealer and using a maximum of an .002 shoulder bump for sizing. using this process will absolutely boost brass life.

I am suggesting this again, because I think it would be of great value to reloaders like myself;

30-06 basic brass.

I would buy 1000.

Has Peterson suspended production of 6 Creedmoor LR brass? I'm only seeing SR on the website.
Thanks

Just dropping in to say how good my experience with Peterson Brass has been. I bought two boxes of the first lot of 308 Brass that made it to Australia. I sized it down to 7mm08, and have since reloaded it 8 times and it is just as consistent and reliable on the 8th firing as it was on the 2nd.

We have not suspended production of the LRP brass. It will be available soon on our website and it is still available from our distributors and dealers.

Unfortunately, 375 Ruger is not on our production or development schedule for 2025. We have many new caliber offerings coming out this year. I did add your request to our requested cartridge database that we track very closely and 375 Ruger is quite high on the list. I'll say its a maybe in the future.

Any requests for 6mm Remington? I think it could have a resurgence if good brass was around. Lots of people on this forum looking for an edge over 243/6creed. Fits perfect in a tikka build. The x57 case in general needs more offerings(7x57,257 rob,257AI,6mmrem,22-6mmrem). I’m building a 6mmAI myself

Make it 11.

6mm Rem, 257 Bob, and 7x57 are not in a great place as far as quality brass goes. There’s a lot of people still shooting them, and every one of us is a handloader with a flair for the exquisite (I.e. the perfect customer for high end brass). 224 TTH would also be served, which is a far more viable wildcat than originally envisioned with all the high BC .224 stuff now offered.

An easy button would seem to make a run of 7x57 and put some different headstamps on it for the end user to resize. Worst case scenario would be a run of .30-06 in different headstamps and leave the reforming work in the end users hands.

Note taken and all added to the request list. We appreciate any and all feedback for caliber development.

Thank you, seriously. I don't even pretend to understand the business aspect of y'all's world, but it does seem there's a fairly crowded market for the standard cartridges everyone already makes brass for that also probably have a low reloading turnout due to the easy available of factory ammo. Not so much the case with Mauser cartridges, especially since the war in the Ukraine began to impact traditional European cartridge suppliers. That may get even worse in the current political climate.

Another one that would be cool to see would be some different headstamps on belted mag cases. I've always wondered why more manufacturers don't offer different headstamps and leave the forming to the end user (other than probably liability issues in doing so). Two that have been notably absent in recent years are .308 and .358 Norma Magnum. People are paying like $4 apiece on gunbroker for brass with those headstamps, and most of us are forming it from 338 or 300 Win Mag anyways.

Appreciate what you guys bring to the market, and always happy to support a US business. I bought 200 cases of your 300 Win Mag long brass just this morning (the long magnum cases are an awesome concept, keep that up, please!).

Thank you for your business, we greatly appreciate it. I'm sure you will love the 300 WM Long casings.

Just an FYI also for hard to find cartridges. There is a company called Quality Cartridge that is run by a gentleman named Pete Cardona. They make many hard to find calibers and basic brass that is all the correct head stamp. When someone asks me about a caliber like that, i send them to Pete. They also have a website that is easy to find if you google search Quality Cartridge.
Their phone number is 301-373-3719. You can call and inquire any time or request a new caliber that they will look in to.
hopefully that will help you locate some of the brass on your list that we don't have time to get to at the moment.
