Description
Box of 100 factory new ALPHA MUNITIONS unprimed 6mm Creedmoor brass rifle shell cases packaged in plastic ammo box. USES SMALL RIFLE PRIMERS.
Optimized Case Design (OCD) represents a major breakthrough in case design by addressing the four sets of criteria that make a cartridge case great.
- Tooling is designed to produce ultra-consistent internal case capacity.
- Neck Tension that holds a bullet snug and uniform.
- Harness of the case, harder throughout the body, softer at the neck and shoulder.
- Flash Holes that are clean and symmetrical.
Insert from March 05, 2018 GUNS & AMMO article by Tom Beckstrand discussing the development of the then new 6mm Creedmoor offering from Alpha Munitions.
“The easy way to produce 6mm Creedmoor is to make a couple tooling inserts that neck down the in-production 6.5 Creedmoor. Poof, instant 6mm Creedmoor. The problem with doing it that way is the excess brass that ends up in the neck and shoulder. Alpha solved this problem by selecting a different raw material and using entirely new tooling for their 6mm Creedmoor. This allowed them to put the right amount of brass in the neck while still maintaining good neck tension in the standard factory chamber. Keeping excess brass out of the neck and shoulder allowed them to refine the taper on the case walls, increasing strength and longevity of the case”.
