| 6mm Norma BR ( 6mm Norma Bench Rest ) and 6mm BR Remington( 6mm Bench Rest Remington) |
| Although these cartridges share the same case dimensions they are considered different calibers due to the different standardized projectile weights. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remington introduced the "6mm BR Remington or 6mm Bench Rest Remington" in 1988, but the design goes back to the early 1960s as wildcats designed by shortening the 308 and reducing the mouth to accept 6mm projectiles. Remington designed this cartridge as a bench rest cartridge with a 70 grain projectile. (The 6mm BR Remington is now obsolete, no longer factory produced by Remington) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norma introduced the "6mm Norma BR or 6mm Norma Bench Rest" in 1996, considering it a long range cartridge using a design with a 100 grain (very low drag) or (VLD). (The 6mm Norma BR is consider a current cartridge, still produced, but hard to find.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Norma is based in Europe, they had to introduce the "6mm Norma BR" as a completely different caliber, or new cartridge due to the fact they standardized it with a 100 grain projectile vs. the 70 grain " 6mm BR Remington cartridge". Also different OAL. (Over all length) In other words, they have different standard projectile weights so are considered different calibers. Confused? I know sometimes it doesn't make sense. |
