what is the diffrence in the old 6mm and the newer 6mm br?
The "Old 6mm" holds almost twice as much powder as the 6mmBR.
It's about the same relationship as the "old 22-250", and the 222 Rem.
In well built rifles, the "old 6mm Rem" is a 600 to ~1,000 yd ground hog rifle, the 6mmBR is a 400 to ~500 yd ground hog rifle.

Why would you say that the 6BR is only good to 500 yds?
Do you mean it can't hit them or that if hit it won't kill them? If you check with people that shoot paper, the 6BR holds all kinds of records at 600 and 1000 yds. I just a few minutes ago got back from shooting my Dtech 6BR AR at 600 yds and I was shooting with a guy with a 3 or 4 thousand dollar bolt rifle (6BR) and I shot the same score as he did on the 1st 2 strings of 20 rds. I didn't do as well when the wind started blowing alot, but the rifle was competitive with his high dollar bolt gun. The ballistics of a 6BR is very close to a .308.

I know all about paper shooting the 6mmBR.
The original, first line of the thread is, "Any of you guys use the 6mm benchrest caliber for ground hogs?
Does that ring a bell?
A 6mmBR can hit Ground Hogs at a 1,000, but I would not do it - with the long heavy bullets that it takes to get there, they would walk home and die.
