6 Lapua Dasher brass to 6BRA?

[dlwheel]

Is it possible to reform 6Lapua Dasher brass to 6BRA?
Just wondering?
Thanks.

Id say no, maybe just lube em up and resize back to 6br and fireform again. IMO

No no and no. Don’t even try

 

[savagedasher]

Yes but a lot of work

Try it. You will find out very quickly

Mad bras in many caliber out military brass
It worked for years
Why would it be different today

 

[22DASHER]

It worked because you were not pushing back 40* shoulders....

Literally just try it one time and find out. I have

Because you haven’t tried to turn something with a 40 degree shoulder into something shorter before.

There's a lot of reasons why it won't work and I don't think it would be safe to try it either. Mainly because you've already stretched the case 80 thou and gave it a 40 degree shoulder which won't push back and if you do get it back where's all the extra brass going to go?

We made bi smalley cases out of 300 wsm why would a 40 degree shoulder be any different

Still waiting on my JGS reamer. Just weighing what options i might have. Thanks for input. Will be shooting the BRA out of Lift Twitst 7.75-7.0 Gain Twist Bartleins.

A guy I shoot with made 6BRA out of fireformed Lapua 6Dasher brass. The shoulders had radial wrinkles all the way around. He loaded and fired the stuff to see if the wrinkles would straighten out. They got better, but did not go away. Shot accurately, none-the-less.

Not if you anneal and step the shoulder back an down in slow steps
The problem is not many have died that short
Then you have to expand the necks an turn them .
Pain but it can be done

 

[LRPV]

Kinda like having a kid with your cousin. Can it be done? I guess. Should it be done? Probably not. Will the results be stellar? Doubt it. Will it be worth all the trouble in the end? Definitely not.

If you pay attention, Lapua BR brass can be bought for $85/100, it will last well past 15 reloads even if you beat the hell out of it. I just love what this forum has become.

The whole point of shooting the BRA is so you can EASILY make GREAT brass with minimal effort..... not to half ass it with some Dasher Brass that was probably made inconsistent from the start... but do what you want

 

[savagedasher]

Dash brass is very simple to make Flat base bullet jamed with the correct amount of powder
Same with a bra
