6BR help

[Rich K]

A friend asked me this question and as I was unsure, thought I would post to somebody who would!
Whats the difference between the 6BR Norma and the 6BR remington, and which is the most popular?
He has just started to load for his rifle, a ruger No1 and has Norma brass but Remington dies, is he blown out of the water before he starts?

No problem there, my rifles are all chambered in 6 BR Norma and my dies say 6BR Remington, they work just fine.

Thanks for the reply Wambo. Just went round his house and found the problem. His seater was seating the bullets then pulling them on the reverse stroke, marking the bullets. He had set his scales wrong and instead of 30.7 grains was at 37 grains!!! he was therefore using way too much force and jamming the bullet in the die!!
Happy days, we all have bad ones!

Cool, glad everything worked out.
Also glad you checked it out and he didn't pull the trigger on any of the rounds loaded with the 37gr of powder
Have a good one,
