6.5shooter Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Takes a bit of fiddling to get the br cartridge to feed from some mags. I know that you can buy accuracy international mags designed for the br cartridge from sporting services. I think some tikka mags feed it aswell, i think it might be the 22-250 mag but not sure. Great choice of midrange cartridge. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie g Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) tikka m590 or m595 action with 22/250 mag will feed fine for a 6br i am sure i heard heard 6br on a sako 75 action with ppc mag will feed also ? 6br forum will give you all the info you need.

swift Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've been using a 6mmbr for about 4 years now on a tikka M55 action that was a .22/250 .473 bolt face same as .308 had this re barrelled with a shilen select match grade barrel by PRS and I'm very pleased with it probably the most accurate rifle I've had the cases seem to last forever some have had 12 firings and still measure the same as once fired. I wouldn't like to swap back to a .22/250 as it seems to do every thing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
