Learn More The all-new Lapua 6mm Creedmoor brass is now hitting retailers shelves to the delight of reloaders. Lapua brass has earned a reputation as a top choice for precision shooters thanks to Lapua's unwavering commitment to consistency. Lapua says that the new brass will feature a small primer pocket with a small flash hole that should hold up to more loads when pushing the bullet speeds to the max. Lapua's release is below: Lapua is pleased to announce their new 6mm Creedmoor case, a necked down version of the extremely popular 6.5mm Creedmoor designed to produce higher velocities, flatter trajectories, and reduced recoil. Customer demand for a 6mm version followed almost immediately after the release of the original Creedmoor case. Aside from the neck dimensions, these new 6mm Creedmoor cases share the same features and characteristics that make Lapua the standard for 6.5 Creedmoor brass. It is a beautifully drawn case, properly annealed at the neck and shoulder, with head metallurgy specifically chosen for durability, and the same small rifle primer, small flash-hole design that delivers the ultimate accuracy edge. The smaller 6mm bore diameter offers an excellent selection of proven low-drag match bullets that offer outstanding long range performance with even less recoil. While the original 6.5 Creedmoor was designed with NRA High Power competition in mind, other disciplines, including PRS, were quick to see the positive attributes of this cartridge. Whether it’s a timed run against steel at unknown ranges, or the precision of placing shots in the X-ring, Lapua is confident that this latest offering will find a niche with discerning shooters in demanding competitive disciplines.
