If I recall the 6mm BRA is a 6mm BR but with the shoulder blown out to 40 degrees, yes?I know there are quite a few variants of the 6mm BR "improved" like the BRA, BRX, and Dasher. They all seem to be very easy to load for and shoot well, but, for me, I don't really understand why you would go through the extra work of fireforming to gain such little case capacity when there is the 6 Creedmoor available, but like I said, that's just me and everyone has their likes and dislikes.I'm sure it'll be a shooter, they always are.
I understand the appeal of smaller cartridges like this. The one I use is similar but slightly smaller (243 LBC in an AR), pushing 105s to 2800 with ~29gr of powder, but more or less in the same class of cartridges. Very low recoil and muzzle blast, mild powder consumption, etc all make these very pleasant to shoot. I do the Creedmoor as well, but ~30gr of powder vs ~45-ish gr makes a difference, not that there's any flies on the Creed either.
Yep I shoot the 95 VLD as well in the 243 LBC, my accuracy load is at 2925 fps from my 24" barrel and it does very well. Don't want to distract from Bullblaster's rifle and cartridge though.
Im pretty sure that's 2 bullet holes, not 5!
That gun is a laser beam and ol BULLBLASTER can freaking shoot. I've heard tell he gets a little excited when it's time to shoot at fur but he is a cool cucumber at the range

I've played with the BR, BRX and the Dasher but the BRA seems to really be catching on lately.What's your fire forming load? It's shooting great, but the velocity is lower than I would have expected. That's not much over the 2670 fps I get from a 19" barreled 6 BR pistol with 30.3gr of Varget and a 105gr bullet.

That's not much over the 2670 fps I get from a 19" barreled 6 BR pistol with 30.3gr of Varget and a 105gr bullet.It’s a pretty mild load I think. 28.5 grains h4895 with a 105 vld .007 ish off the lands. I was at 29 and jam with the bullet and was getting heavy bolt lift so I backed it off some. 30.3 is a case full of varget in a br isn’t it? I wouldn’t have thought id see you commenting here. I mean it burns less than 100 grains and is only a 6mm. I was actually very close to making a brx instead but a buddy (who shoots brx) talked me out of it.
Personally have had issues with zeroing and Magneto attached on every rifle it has changed poi in a big way.
I took the 6 BRA out last Saturday and did some powder testing along with some scope tracking/poi testing. First time out with powder and shot a nice 1/2" group at 300 yards. I will be taking it down to the 600 yard match in Eatonville in a few weeks and see how it does.
