Thread: Wanted. Sako in 6ppc or 6br

Might be worth tracking down a Canjar trigger, although it seems that some owners would prefer to be buired with them.

Another important detail to note, Sako's own 6mmPPC- USA is not the same as 6PPC. Using brass and dies meant for a proper 6PPC in the former may cause issues.

There are many versions of 6PPC, most custom versions are used in Benchrest and are resized with custom dies.
The Sako 6PPC is a 6mm PPC-USA chamber and Redding make dies for this.

If you used 6PPC-USA dies to resize 6PPC cases from a Benchrest rifle it wouldn't do much at all
You probably wouldn't be able to run as much pressure in the Sako as they run in Benchrest rifle either, so shooters are running over 30gr of 133 in their Benchrest rifles.
I wouldn't try that in a Sako
