Alpha 6 Dasher brass?

Pick one:
https://alphamunitions.com/our-distributors/
Or get on waiting list here:
https://alphamunitions.com/product/6mm-dasher/

FYI, I did the later of these options. Alpha will send you an email when it becomes available but you better be ready to order. It doesn't stay in stock for long.
BTW, I still prefer getting it hydro-formed by DJ's.
EDIT:
Alpha may be the only place to order just brass from. I checked the website for Area 419 and they do not show it in their store. I also went to Copper Creek and it appears the only way to get it is in loaded ammunition.
 
Tnks shoot4fun. I don't mind fireforming in some of my rifles bc they shoot fairly well but I don't like wasting barrel life in some.
 
Altus Shooting sent me an email the other day saying that I could pre-order. (I have been on the waiting list) They are expecting stock around the 28th.
 
Finally!

One thing to note with that brass is it might be a little long at the shoulder. My son just got his PRS build back from the smith. PG&E supplied the reamer and go gauge for the Alpha brass. After the chamber was reamed the new brass would not chamber until he resized it. Just the opposite of my experience with Lapua.

Yikes, you have to neck turn new brass to get it to chamber?

Alpha Dasher brass is thicker than Lapua. Loaded rounds on Alpha measured .2695 (with slight variance). My chamber is .271 so, preferring a little more "fudge room" in that area, I turned mine by .005. That cleaned them up and loaded rounds are a steady .268 now.
Still have yet to load out any for testing but will very soon.
 
My Alpha brass showed ejector mark on my lowest charge 31.6 gr varget but according to others, that is normal due to the polish they use. I did get a hard bolt lift at 32.6 gr varget. SD's were good (5 Shots, 2.X to 6.X), groups were good (For me, .3X to .5X 5 shots at 100 yards).
