I run a a 6 comp match with h1000Ah ha! Good one.
There's that 6mm comp match that is supposed to get good barrel life for a 6mm with H-1000???
Don't know about the barrel life on this one but the guy claims 4650 fps for 20/35SMc which is a 6mmBR necked down and with a special shoulder that's supposed to make the case be super efficient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_mm/35_SMc
Saw a post on FB stating today that 6GT is finicking with a narrow accuracy node/nodes......I am find that not to be the case with my 6GT just seeing what others have experienced. There was a giant dog pile with a few people saying that is worse than a Dasher by alot......heavy trolling
Where was this?
Except for some issues I had with alpha brass, I found it to be easy to load for.
Though I’m finding most who have issues with load development are still doing things circa 1980.
You're setting it up perfectly. The reason your measurements show .003-.004 is because there's never a perfect match between the shoulder angle in your chamber and your FL sizer and the datum on your comparator.I set my die up to where fired brass would free fall the bolt with no firing pin assembly or ejector and it ended up needing .004 of bump. That’s about double that I ever sized a fired case.
I anneal with an AMP every firing so I hope my brass doesn’t split from working that much. I usually only bump shoulders about .0015.

More references towards a # being a "gas gun" number only go to show the level of misinformation that's available for consumption.
No one referenced it as being a gas gun number. Nor was it suggested he did not size the brass properly.
It was a comparison to how more shoulder bump will not work the brass enough to damage it. As there are people bumping more without issue.
Read carefully before you post again.
I try to limit my posts to topics I’m knowledgeable about, so as to not mislead others.
Did you ever get your “brass issues” worked out.

I got two of his barrels, I settled on 37.9 h4350 60offFinally got my 6GT out! Barrel is a Krieger pre-fit chambered by Keystone Accuracy for my Bighorn Origin.
Despite 20+ mph winds and having to single feed(forgot mag) it shot in the .2’s and .3’s with my generic break- in loads at 100 yards.
Load is: 35.5 grains H4350 with a Hybrid 109 in Hornady brass, CCI 450. COAL of 2.59”. Can’t wait to keep shooting it and see where my accuracy/velocity nodes end up.

Impact Bartlin 26” barrel
35 thou off lands
35.0gr varget

Hornady Brass
sd 5, ties knots
I started with that, and I could no do anything wrong I messed around seating between 10thou and 70thou and it just worked all the time. Settled a little deeper than 20, seemed to be the sweet spot.
After 400rds, and a recent match, I had a little increased velocity and also some primer swipes.
Backing down to 34.8 for summer, still getting just a hair over 3000fps.
6GT has been simply one of the easiest most forgiving rounds I’ve loaded for. Granted that’s with one barrel, we’ll see how the next one goes.
Whoops that ought to have been included, my mistake.What bullet and weight? Still waiting on a barrel, but might put together 50 rounds for break in, I have 109 Bergers.
It’s still there. It’s called “6mm GT forum” on Facebook.I can’t find that group anymore. I knew I was a member in it but now it’s disappeared for me.
I must have been blocked or banned for some reason. I cannot find it.It’s still there. It’s called “6mm GT forum” on Facebook.

Mine does it too but I looked at my mags and the lips need to be adjusted. They are too far apart.Anyone else have mag feed problems. Mine will will want to nose dive every now and then. Pain in my ass. Impact, foundation and Hawkins bottom metal.
Did Alpha work with you at all? Refund?Soft case head in some batches is the general consensus among several who have looked at it. Without hardness tests no way to verify.
Dies are sizing properly. Hornady factory brass and formed lapua works fine.

I think mine is soft as well.
I haven’t yet. Even fed well with an ARC mag without issues.Anyone else have mag feed problems. Mine will will want to nose dive every now and then. Pain in my ass. Impact, foundation and Hawkins bottom metal.
George Gardner, Ken Lin, and Tom Jacobs are the admins. maybe message them.yup it just loads and loads. Will not pull the page up.
Wonder who the mods are so I can message them and see what’s going on.
The only thing I ever asked was about a reamer and when GAP would get stuff back in stock. If I was banned I would like to know why or what happened.
I just stopped seeing post about the GT one day and was like why can’t I find the group. Thought maybe I went crazy.
Mine are 1.950 cbto 2.575 col .030 jumpMy barrel is finally ready. I stopped by today to check and they were just waiting on Cooper Creek to deliver some test ammo. I had 50 rounds loaded in the car just in case, so dropped them off. They won't chamber. I must have read the reamer print wrong, because I thought i had 40 to the lands. I have new Alpha brass and 109 Bergers. Could some of you nice folks tell me what your CBTO and COAL is with the 109's? I need to reseat and would like to do it once.
Thanks to all, can't beat this place for good information.
Nice. What bullet, powered and brass are you using?Hello All... Excited to join the party!!! This is my 6GT and my first bolt rifle. Only been reloading since Christmas. 40% of these are below 10 SD and This is only shots 26 through 100 through a new barrel, brass and rifle. Can’t ask for more...
Nice. What bullet, powered and brass are you using?
Ok. With Hornady brass and CCI 450 many shooters have found a load right at 34.5 Varget. Try between 34.3-34.7. For me it was 34.6 for both 105 hybrids and 110 A-Tips, and 34.5 for the 109 hybrids.thank you. Berger 105s Staball, H4350 and Varget tested.Best SDs are in the 2925 to 2975 FPS range. This is brand new Hornady brass with CCI450
