It's my new 6 BRX!

The brass on the right is what
it looks like after I fired it.

   Yeah, you heard me. It may not be a 6.5-.284, but it's half way there, without the recoil of course. I'm pretty excited to start shooting this.
 
 An old friend of mine, a shooter, gave me a 6 BRX (with a Krieger barrel) on a Barnard action and a Nightforce scope. He told me he was proud of me, and wanted to see me succeed, and he would do anything to help.

  My dad and I went out to the range the other day (yes, in the snow), to blow out the cases. See the pic of the cases at right? We loaded normal 6 BR loads, and shot them in the 6 BRX action. I wasn't loading each case the same, some had about a 1/2 grain difference. My group was pretty tight, about 20 shots inside of a dime. I can't wait until I do load testing! It's going to be DEADLY!
 
 I will be able to shoot the 6 BRX for long range too. In Oregon, there is a Palma match, then an Any-Any match at 1,000 yards. So, I can shoot my .308 for the Palma, then shoot the 6 BRX for the Any-Any match with the Nightforce scope.

  I won't be able to shoot it at Plantation on the 28th, but next month there are a couple matches. I also have to get another Right Sight. I can't just swap my front sight for different matches. So, I have two barrelled actions now. It's hard to decide which one to shoot with all the time now. Plus, I'm using the same stock for both the .308 and the 6 BRX, so I don't have to get used to two different rifles. I just swap barrelled actions. My main focus is still my .308, the 6 BRX is for fun, and Any-Any matches. But hey, if this shoots better than a .308 in the wind like the numbers say it will, I may be tempted to shoot the Wimbledon Cup (Any-Any) at Camp Perry this year. We'll find out soon!
