I'm actually looking for a varmint contour but they're only showing it in bull(too heavy).I could pre-order one from gun shack but not sure about Shaw quality to be a tack driver.

You might check w/ Krieger. They show BBL inventory on line. When I built my .257AI they just happened to have the perfect bbl "ready to go". They will set up for bbl nut or standard shoulder & also chamber if you'd like.
Gotcha,
Did you have to special order your Lee collet die? I have a 6mmAI barrel ordered and am getting ready to purchase all of my reloading components. Any knowledge you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
Got in on the pre-ordrer at Gun Shack for a 6mm Ackley. Now just need to wait and start getting supplies.
Has anyone fire formed 257 Roberts bass for the 6mm AI?
NO, why? is it better for any reason over the 6mm brass?Quote:

I've heard the 257 Roberts brass will last longer, just wondering if anyone has tried it. My plan is to start with the 257 Roberts brass since I'm buying new anyway.
Good dope on the 6AI.

So I used 257 and created a good tight false shoulder to fireform against.
Adam 330, Yes, the 6mm rem. LCD will size both 6mm rem & 6mm AI...... I have a 6mm AI & a .257AI......... Use rem parent brass for both & see no advantage in using .257 rbts brass for 6AI. Was warned NOT to use 7X57 brass for my .257AI by Dave Kiff. He shoots the .257 AI & got donuts w/ 7X57 Norma brass. Don't know if 7X57 brass would cause same problem w/ 6mm AI but why take the chance ???
