Support for 6.8 western?

[Gila]

Anyone know what the average neck thickness is for ADG brass? I have a Redding bushing for the Winchester brass…

I'll measure when I get home from work

.016 - .0165 is what I got on new, unsized brass.

Note: I used a caliper rather than a ball micrometer so please forgive any potential error in the measurements.

What I see on most magnum ADG brass is .014-.015.

Seekins makes rifles chambered in 6.8 Western as well. Barrel makers will spin one up for ya. I bought a prefit barrel off the shelf. Just as much ammo out there as the 7 PRC right now. The 165 LRAB and 175 Gamechanger are popular loads. As of now Winchester, Browning and Choice produce ammo. For handloaders, plenty of bullets available. Brass is only being produced by Winchester as of now but looking for some premium brass to be available by the end of the year.

Both the 6.8 Western and 7mm PRC are designed for long range work and are solid all-around choices for hunting. Which comes out on top? We take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

The 6.8 Western Cartridge

The 6.8 Western Cartridge. Jesse Werner explains why he chose the 6.8 Western for his latest deer and elk rifle.

A little bit of a resurrection. I was waiting for Seekins to release the PH3 to pick up a 6.8 Western. Looks like they discontinued support of that cartridge with the new line.

Seekins went with the .277 Fury….What a hoot!…LOL

Will be an interesting move. I don't know anyone that owns a .277 fury or anyone that has ever shot one. Watching the video about the new Seekins line up was interesting though. People want shorter and faster, the fury meets those requirements.

The fury and backcountry are interested but I can’t help but think more expensive. The Fury at least should benefit from volume down the road due to lake city plant but we will see
