LR Benchrest

[Bottom Fodder]

your option: Over the years what single cartridge has dominated the longer range bench rest?
just interested in knowing not trying to start a debate
and I’m sure like most things I ask you need more information

1000yd, off the top of my head, I would think LV would be a 6 Dasher, and HV I would lean toward the 300WSM.........That's just my opinion backed up by zero stats from me.

1000 YD BR. First 30 years 30 cal. Last 20 years 6MM lots of dashers.

May I ask why you switched from 30 to 6mm?

 

[Tom Murtiff]

6mm bullets

If you look at the 1000yd IBS records, all but one are a 6 BRA/BRAW

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest James Mock would have a real good input on this topic.

but would it be valid?

Well, I thought that was all because of some "lathe monkey" in Montana.

That monkey owned dasher reamers too

Anyone know where he wound up?

Hoping he’s not in Idalia’s path!

300wsm, 6.5x47, 6BRA. You see twice as many BRA’s than you do dashers.

 

[Bottom Fodder]

From looking at the posts the 6 mm crowd seams to be high on the list
good to know

240mk at 3000fps is awful tough to beat IMHO

 

[Bugs]

Which brings us back to the age old question, Are the good shooters winning because they're shooting dashers or are dashers winning because the good shooters are using them?

Alex just said it was BRA.

He is tougher than any female hurricane.

I would have thought the new darling of F-class, some version of the .284, would be in there. Maybe too much recoil for good bench shooting? I know that's why I went to the Dasher in F-class. Recoil wasn't punishing, but it did move me a bit and having to reset wasn't always happening perfectly back to the same.

Over the years, I'd say a Dasher. There are several really good calibers/cartridges capable of winning and some of it falls on the conditions on a given day. But mostly, I'd say the one that gets driven best is the winner. There's also a lot to popularity. If a field is made up of mostly one cartridge, odds go in it's favor even before the commence fire is given. Personally, I like a 6BR-DX but not a lot of them out there. Not knocking any of them but the BRDX would be my first choice with a few closely on its heels.
