Doing a build on a Vanguard 2 action to 6mm AI. Ive been looking all over hell both sides of the border for 6MM Remington brass with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

If 6mm Rem is unavailable 257 Roberts or 7X57 can be necked down. Check neck thickness to be sure there's enough clearance.
I have a bunch (156) of once fired R-P Roberts brass I was selling, these would be just the ticket for 6mmAI. They were all loaded, cleaned, trimmed, chamfered and primed with CCI 200s. PM me if you're interested. Just run them through the die and they're 6mm. The nice thing about going from 25 to 24 is that you won't have to thin the necks, they will still fall within the 6mm Rem spec for neck thickness.

That might just be the ticket. Now once a person neck sizes them at that point can they be fireformed in the 6mm AI chamber? Also would one serve as a dummy round once neck sized for the throating?
Neck them up to 7mm and then back down to 6mm to leave a bulge at the base of the neck for the case to headspace on in the chamber, then load a standard 6mm Rem load and fire. The brass will come out of your chamber nicely formed. - dan
