6BR- Ackley Improved 40 degree

[KenOath]

You can',t the neck is too short on the Dasher. You would need to run the reamer in there for the 6br imp. after you shortened it and you would more likely to have a step in your neck. All of this if the die isn't hardened. Jim

Ok that makes sense thankyou Jim.

Cheers Rushty

Awesome, thanks Tom. Seriously considering chambering up a barrel for PRS competition. Easy to tune, easy to make brass, same speed as the Dasher with potentially better barrel life all sounds good to me.

I've been informed by knowledgeable sources that the proper pronunciation of the 6BRA is "6 Brah" with a Hawaiian accent.

Down in Dillon, where Alex lives, it's "BRA-A-A-A-A"! But those people are just a bit different


Tom

Before it was a BRA. it is a 6br imp. around here...... IMAO.... Jim

Put my first ever 1.350" barrel in the old wobbly South Bend, love that contour! BR-AI reamer cut great!!

Sheldon,

My oldest brass is at fireformed + 8 firings. No problems yet, still has equal and sufficient resistance seating primers. This is all at the 2965-3000 fps range with h4895 which is quite capable of ruining brass in my dasher experience.

My plan is to run that first barrel and it's brass through next year too as my heavy gun. This should give an idea of barrel life and brass life. Haven't decided between it and two others for this years nationals yet though.

Tom

Tom , how many cycles to you put on the match brass before you retire from competition?

If you don't mind me asking, what is your barrel length in your 12TW shooting 80s with XBR8208?

 

[moondog]

So, I can use a Dasher seater for the BRA?

 

[moondog]

I have been, and probably will just continue to. But I'm cheap!

Tom

Thanks

 

[ledward]

Dunno yet with the BRA, I know I was retiring dasher cases as early as 15 fired from match use, do to primer pocket inconsistencies. Other powders were better for brass longevity, but I used h4895 on 90% of my dashers.

Tom

Thanks,

26" but it is where it shoots good not where velocity is the highest, it can go a lot more but I never pushed it 3250- 3300 it is a sub.1 gun. Jim

This round seams to be taking off. I will for now though stick with my BRX. I like the 30d shoulders. I do think its neat that almost identical performance can be had to a dasher with a smaller case and less powder.

 

[Terry Altom]

I have a Wilson Dasher neck die, so it looks like I can use that to get a couple brass fired five times to send to Harrells to see if they have a Dasher die that will fit after .080" is removed. Hopefully PTG will have my reamer done soon.

Just ordered a PTG 6mm Uni-throater kit with .2438" freebore diameter.....the wait continues......

What chamber length are you guy`s using for your 6 BR AI reamer????

1.555 / 1.560 / 1.570, or something completely different??

Took a look at my reamer print (which is still being reground at PTG) it's 1.560" for me
