I have emailed all the major top brass manufacturers asking if they have plans to start making 6.8 brass. I have gotten a hard no from everyone except Lapua. They said if there is enough interest that they would possibly start manufacturing it. If this interests you would you mind sending them an email at the below link? Thanks!!

Thanks MJB. I sure hope it won’t be a 10+ year wait. Lol

Yeah I’m sure they require a massive amount of interest. But I suppose if you don’t try, they for sure won’t ever make it.

I don’t think it stands a chance. Hope I’m wrong.

I’d build a 6.8 if it was supported well, but few are going to venture down the .277 road when the 6.5 and 7mm are already so well established, and so few options exist for high BC .277 bullets.

Awesome! Thanks Wind!! Hopefully they will punch out some 300 WSM soon too. Hard to tell if this 6.8 Western will take off or not. I really like it.

I bought some Winchester brass. It is fair. Some variance in neck thickness and weight. I still have all my fingers and toes crossed hoping that Lapua will come through. Wether it is in 10 years or 10 months.


Please help out your fellow enthusiasts and send them an email requesting 6.8 Western brass!! Thank you!!

I’d rather see them start back selling 7-08 Rem brass. As far as new brass offerings, I’d much rather see 7 SAUM or 22 Creedmoor than 6.8 Western. 🤦‍♂️
