If you were building a BR or similar 6mm variant today, with a goal of ~2000 rounds of match barrel life, and good performance out of 105 hybrids and a 24” barrel what would you choose?
Long story is I’m sick of 6 creed barrel life and feel like I should have gotten into a br variant long ago. I’ll be simply rebarreling a tikka that’s had a half dozen barrels on it now. I solely shoot suppressed, although I do have a Magnus K RR on order, and will not go over 24” on the barrel.
When I decided on 6 creed there was far less choices, not just in terms of cartridge but now with all the reamers, brass and mags out there it makes it a harder choice. Looking for input on all of it, not just cartridge head stamp.
I’m shooting mainly one day matches in the Midwest with an occasional 2 day.
So Iv got 16lbs of N140, 2500 105 hybrids a tikka action, and I really don’t want to fire form unless absolutely necessary
