Looking at Eastman’s research you are on the edge of a green chip, or good quality, unit. (as compared to blue excellent and yellow marginal). Units 40, 49, maybe 76 and some other units are possibilities. You are still a long ways off the points for the best units.
As for guided vs DIY, there...
Thanks all!
Dan I think it was a range target, but if you are looking for similar targets these are good: Mountain Plains Industries target.

Gunsmith Kevin Weaver in Peyton, Colorado, finished a new 7 Mashburn just in time for elk season!
I took delivery 28 August 19. Kevin actually went a bit out of his way and dropped it off locally on his way through Cheyenne. Because he's pretty awesome like that.

Opinions?
Looks like a good piece of kit. Claimed accuracy of 0.04 grains is pretty solid.
At $900 from MidwayUSA also expensive.
And back to the old question-does the same volume of powder change weight by more than 0.1 grains throughout the year as a result of changes in...
I spent a night looking for a whitetail doe myself. But I’ve also spent days killing hogs.
I can’t say either is ideal. Sometimes just a part of it you have to get through. Life is messy and violent!

And the brass between the 6 BR Remington and the 6 BR Norma is the same.
The 6 BR Remington has a slower twist and a shorter throat than the 6 BR Norma. Norma re-standardized the 6 BR so you could seat long bullets long into the throat.

You are right there are 2 SAAMI-standard 6 BR cases. One is the 6 BR Remington and the other is the 6 BR Norma.
I would talk to your friend and inquire about the neck thickness. He probably remembers something that will be helpful.
You shouldn’t have a ‘problem’ with brass. Lapua and Norma...
Some looking, the 70-grain Matchkings and 32 grains Varget might work. Some ran into problems with 75-grain A-Maxes.

Dan,
Not sure what the 14-twist will stabilize. I have a 6 BR with an 8-twist. I shoot 95-grain Sierra Matchkings. The box of 95-grain Matchkings says they need a 9-twist or faster.
The good: it’s a darn great round for range training. I shoot the Matchkings on top of CCI450 primers and 30...
Even if you could get 5% more powder space that would only mean maybe a couple percent more velocity at the same pressure. So maybe you could get 30 or 50 fps more? And a trade off would be a long action. Long actions don’t bother me at all but then you could chamber a bigger case to begin...
