6BRA load data

[tom]

I see Tom is shooting in colder weather, is there much difference in the tune? If so how much ?

TY Don.

My lot of powder is decent, I've not seen much if any changes. Certain days it'll shoot tighter, but the peak load has remained the same. No tuner to turn on though!

I was planning on asking you the same thing. I switched to BRA late in the season and really didn’t get to do any load development at all. All the advice I have been given is don’t try to develop anything under 50deg. But I have been ready all the posts from you, Glenn, Alex, etc and you guys seem to have no problem shooting down to 0deg. Any tips you care to share?

Don't exhale! It was mid 20s today so basically hot!!! It could be colder at the first couple matches lol.

Tom, the 6BRA may take off in bench rest, time will tell..

Our first match will be first part of May so hopefully a little warmer than that. Lol

I was waiting for someone to chime in I was starting to think the PRS gang invented it.

I’ve been playing with my new Lab lately, haven’t had it long but am wondering if you don’t have it in exactly the same position as previously used it may give a different speed reading, still gives a consistent average each time just slightly different to last lot of readings with same load?
Will need to take it out more for more testing..

I’ve checked my lab w/ my mag v3. Consistent & repeatable every time I test the lab is 2-3 fps faster. Since this has happened over at least 6 tests I’m assuming both instruments of mine are accurate. I wasn’t paying any attention to getting the same setup positions so can’t comment on that other than very doubtful they were all the same.

No sir. They invented the 6 Dasher.

Lol, good to re fresh fact or beginnings once in awhile…

Well someone finally said it or should I say said it again!?

Mark and I at work have talked on and off about the Dasher vs the BR or BRA and that the Dasher was a tad over case capacity and that short neck length isn’t necessarily helping either.

Bart, Maybe what we should try and do is make a couple of test barrels for each. Get a bullet maker or ammo maker or powder maker etc...and have them tested in controlled conditions and see which one is more consistent.

Yes I know there are a ton of variables from bullets, to loads and overall tuning etc....but I think it would be interesting nonetheless.

Frank, you are kind in addition to knowledgeable. As a complete stranger 2-4 years ago I called to order a barrel. I had always shot big bore & was wanting to try some small bore. You suggested the 6 BRA. My 1st I went with a 6 GT and I like it. Though, I’m reading this thread & prepping Alpha 6 BRA brass for a Bartlein 6 BRA that should arrive within 2 weeks. Thanks for taking the time to share knowledge & being kind.
Much Appreciation, Lynn

Many thanks to all who contribute data to this thread. It is very helpful.

I have a bunch of n135 and laupa 105’s. I am putting together a bra for my daughter and need a fire forum load. Peterson brass

I just fireformed Lapua brass with 28.8gr N135, could have upped it a little

Please tell that to King Richard he was shooting a Dasher back in 2008

Work up to where you are consistently getting nice crisp shoulders. If you don’t, you will have to fire twice before they are fully formed. Ask me how I know.

I'm afraid Jerry's attempt at funny flew right over your head

Excuse me but I know exactly where the Dasher came from and I know Richard very well.
If you had cared to look at that led to my statement you would have understood I was merely making light of someone else's humor in this thread.
