Trying Alpha 6 Dasher Brass . . .

[JGS_Jaz]

Can someone tell me the difference between a Lapua and Alpha reamer?
Thanks

Case length on the Alpha is 1.555, Lapua is 1.570

I decided to try the Alpha Brass with my 6BR only 1 firing through the first 200 and seems to be working great .... Time will tell.

Thank you, what is the trim length? Is that what makes it different? Sorry for the questions but I'm probably going to have a 6 Dasher or 6 BRA built this fall. EDIT: or maybe just a 6BR, this can get complicated.

Trim to properly fit your chamber.

I understand that but are the reamers different due to the difference in finished length?

Hard to say; there's no official reamer for a dasher.

Okay, that was my misunderstanding, someone mentioned here that there was (this thread or another one).
Thanks,

I had 300 of there 6 dasher brass non ocd total crap preassure signs at 31 grns varget had to go to 29.5 grns i should have went straight 6br same velocity. Ocd brass was good at 31 grns I had to almost give the non ocd brass away sold 300 once fired for a hundred dollars I'd wait for lapua brass when it becomes available.
