Sitting here at the range scratching my head between strings on my new 6 dasher.
Barrel is a 28" 7.7 twist bartlein, 6 norma dasher chamber and brass.
105 hybrids over Varget and RL16 are doing fine, typically under 1/3 moa at 300y.
The 87 vmax is terrible though; I want to shoot these for long range squirrel blasting. Only tried them with varget so far from 3100-3250 but they're all over the place, 1 moa at 300y is about the best it can manage with many groups being larger. I'm jumping them 0.010 right now, but .020 jam to .060 jump all group about the same.
I know the 7.7 twist is faster than ideal for the vmax, but I was hoping for better.
Suggestions? I also have h4895 I could try, may test that tomorrow (charge weight suggestion appreciated.) Also thinking about trying 88 berger varmints or nosler 80 ballistic tips, unless there's another varmint bullet I should consider.
Thanks!
