what a odd post. 
mk38, you are not going to loose birds because of the nationality of the lead.

Not sure if you're joking.... but there is an 'English' shot size system which doesn't necessarily correspond to US/European. I think (?) a European 6 would be an English 5 i.e not a 6 as we would know it. OP wants a load which is definitely size 6 and cartridges/components from abroad might be labelled for a different market.

i am taking the mick because there is italian / continental and english and US shotsizes. not to mention the antimony content and the equivalencies.

the higher the antimony content the lighter the density of the lead, meaning some smaller high antimony lead shotsizes actually equate to a smaller shotsize. and shotsize is calculated by shop pieces per ounce.

Do you REALLY need a true English 6?

yeah, thats my point exactly. infact if you were to need a exact english #6 you pretty much cant use any shell because the tollerence of shotsize can have manufacturers use +/-  1 or half shotsize. you`d need a micrometer, scales, and metalurgy to recognise a true english #6. 

to the OP.

just buy shells with #6 on the side. dont worry.
