Did you ever find any Rem Brass. ?
I’m sure I used to have some, may still have some but don’t think I’d sell them. I have a few boxes of factory loaded ammo also.
I would ask why do you need them? You can use Lapua
 
A wild guess is that the OP has a, "old school" chamber. o_O At the DATUM point .200" ahead of the bolt-face, all of the original Remington 6mm/ & 7mm BR brass, which I have & have had, feature diameters between 0.4635 and 0.4640" (same for the Rem. ,308 UBR - small primer full length .308), while my stash of gold box LAPUA measures 0.469".
This latter is a, "little too tight" for the original .466-.467" BR chambers. Workarounds can be costly, time consuming, and may prove only, "somewhat useful". ;) RG

Yea it’s coming back to me now. I used to know this stuff. Rem .462. Lapua .469. .007 difference. I have never tried this but if you had an old school small base die from a .270 30/06. Ect. And you pulled the expander ball/ decaper out, cranked it down to your shell holder and lubed up a Lapua one and ran it in the die, I wonder what it would size the base too ? I found some old Rem 6BR primed, there is a small hole in the bag so I don’t know how many is in there. I don’t know I want to part with em. Just yet.sorry I tried to attach a pic. Keeps saying file too large.
I actually found all kinds of stuff while looking for them. I was like measuring this little round, what is this. A 22 ppc. I ain’t seen one in 30 years.

Three new factory box 0f 6BR Rem 100 grain core lock. Say right on the box not for 6BR. I definitely don’t want to part with em.
I don’t know why. I was always going to build a 700 1-10 twist sporter Rifle and never did. Built something else instead. I believe they were for the XP 100’s.
 
I think the first chamber I ever had for the 6BR late 80’s would have been the REM 6BR .262 NK .030 Freebore 14T. I used Lapua Brass. I have a Redding competition bushings die set and I used the body die to size the brass before I shot it and I never had a problem using Lapua. I would think you need to measure some fired case bases to what you need to size them to and that how I would do it.
First having a nostalgic, Historic, collectible
Rifle that you want to shoot. I can understand that I have a few collectible Rifles. Expect to pay collectible prices for nostalgic collectible components. I think I could get 100 bucks a box for the loaded ammo to either a Rem collector or XP100 collector. I’m just in no need to sell. Brings me back to my question why do you need them. If it is a nostalgic collectible Rifle and you want to shoot it size the Lapua brass to fit. If it’s not take to a smith and have the barrel set back and rechambered. Ok there I said what I was thinking.
