I love mine. I run a 105 berger at 2900 from a 26" barrel and I have my furthest kill on a coyote at 754 yards BUT, I wish I would gone with a 6XC for just a bit more horse power.

The 6BR is such a great round!
Performs great and it’s very easy to load for!
Not the latest and greatest…but it’s been working for a lotta years!!
Even why I screw up, it shoots great!!

I deal with alot of wind and am curious about shooting something like 115 dtac. Would a bra be enough case?
A lot of wind? I think it’s marginal there, velocity helps with wind in the first 500 yards before BC/weight make up, and the BRA case won’t push it fast to take advantage of the high BC.

Go 6 creed or 6XC, then you get the speed I like for wind and to carry for long range. 6x284 if you want more than them.

But, I have shot 156 out of my 20” 6.5 creed, so it’s not like I am opposed to a fat high bc bullet on the slow side.

Just seems like the 115s deserve the speed, lol. I love them out of my 6xc over 3000 fps.

I have just the turnkey 6 BRA set up listed in the classifieds for you!

I saw that add. I have a 6cm for hunting but have only used 105 hyb and lately a few 75vmax. Have an old custom 22-250 i am thinking I might re barrel to 6bra or something as my bench gun. Your set up is worth considering...
The other day we had a fun shootout to 1200. My 6cm 105 hyb at 3121 was 11 moa of wind. Another guy had 110 sierra in a 6bra at 2980 and held 9.5 wind

What barrel lengths between the two?

He got quite a good velocity out of those 110. If you ran the newly available 109 ELDm in your creed you could best that I think.

Mines a 24" 8 twist proof cf, his is a custom bench gun 30"?

I'm more interested in leaving my cm alone for hunting with it's z5 scopes. It's perfect. If I do more load development it will be lighter and faster than 75vmax.

For more bench specific is what I'm interested in getting set up for. At this point it's just for fun and learning bench skills.

I picked up a howa mini barreled in 6 arc from Brownells Black Friday.

Plant to load Barnes 95 LRX (if I can get them fast enough) or 80 gr ttsx.

Really curious if anyone has tried monos in the the ARC or other mild 6MMs
