For me it would be :

6 Dasher
6.5x47 lapua
300 WSM

In that order.

6.5 X 47 L !!

I didn't know they made anything other than dashers and 300 short mags, I guess I did ok at Ridgway VBR championship match with a 260. So that may be choice #3, or a 6x47.

1000 yds. Sorry, should have stated that.

Dasher, dasher, and dasher.

Dasher, dasher, and dasher.

Do most of you use a separate barrel for forming the dasher cases?

Dasher is what u want. Next and important question is what reamer spec do you want. Send PM to Alex Wheeler (posted above) and Donovan Moran to discuss. They will get you squared away.

Good Shooting
