An alternative to FF 220 Russian to 6PPC
« on: May 06, 2010, 05:44:42 PM »
OK.I've chatted with a couple of local PPC shooters about this we may give it a go to trial it.
R.Whittley had developed what he calls the 6 AR to be used in an AR platform
(http://www.6mmar.com/)
Basically take a 6.5 Grendal case (PPC boltface and Lapua quality brass) and neck to 6MM in 1 pass in the dies and go.
I was thinking that even with a tight neck and a light neck skim ,this sounds VERY interesting and easy.
The resulting case has a wee bit more volume but what the heck,   a simple PPC improved?
Anyone tried this yet? Reamer drawings available and dies available....
Thoughts??

Gord, it would probably shoot the same as a 6br. The 6 ar is a longer powder column version of a ppc that allows guys with semi auto rifles to get as close to a ppc version without the pressure that blows them up but bolt guns love. If you chambered a bolt gun you can crank up the powder more and get more velocity but essentially you get a 6br.
 It won't hurt to try and see if it works and might be a good switch barrel in a short range gun for someone who likes to shoot a few long range matches
