6 dasher 87 vmax issues

It might come to that. As of right now it would be cheaper than shooting them with the 87 Vmax-- because it might take 4-5 shots (or more!) to hit them with the 87 Vmax. The 105 Hybrid would probably only take one, although I'd miss the target "acrobatics" with the Vmax. :D

I'll post back with how the 80 Nosler and 88 Bergers do. Might have them Friday.
A friend of mine has a 1:10 twist dasher, very accurate to 600 yds with 87 VMAX. Don't know his load.

Gosh... who woulda thunk....but it appears the vast majority of of folks with 1-8 twist and faster aren't able to get these to shoot, with a few exceptions of course...myself included. My 6x47L, 1-8, doesn't much like them even though it has the perfect FB (.080) for them. I guess they just don't like being "over spun".

Nice. What velocity are you getting with the 88s and N135?
