6 Dasher build questions

[Changeling]

If coned bolt option is available in your build. You might strongly consider this.

Why should I consider a coned bolt, for the dasher? I really don't understand your comment, can you explain please ?

It depends. If it's a repeater, cone is not going to work, but for single shot, come is the way to go.

Coned bolts have a mating surface machined on barrel. This creates a smooth loading ramp into the chamber.

Mirroring surface not mating. Should be about .002-.005" clearance.

Seriously? Erik chambers and fits his own barrels. Go pick your nits.

Really don't want to get in an another pissing contest here But coned bolt is the only way to go for repeater
Does the Tubb 2000 ring a bell? (coned bolt) This gun holds all the rapid fire records in NRA High power. Rivaled only by the AR- 15-10 platform (semi auto)

I have never seen a coned bolt repeater. I figured the cone would ride over the case instead of picking it up out of the magazine. However, I do agree that cone bolts allow better feeding into the chamber.

Eric -

They work great as a repeater....
Even some production rifles are coned ( example: the T3 Tikka's).

DMoran, thanks , but he knows that!
He's just trying to see if his head is bigger than the south end of a donkey , but give him credit, his friend, the donkey posts here also, I think they have some sort of contract withe (sic) the OLD HE- HAW shows we used to watch on TV.

How is your brain damage coming? Getting better? Doesn't look like your spelling has improved.

I might build a dasher to build a dasher...so I can say I have a dasher...

Jokes aside, I'm struggling with this myself. I feel/know the 284 Shehane will do everything I need it to do for f-class matches and even mid-range matches and I am nearing completion of my load development in the 284 Shehane for the 2015 season, but I do see a lot of matches locally in my area ( Sac Valley ) being won by 6 Dashers or at least placing high. Its a slightly different story in national matches where like Erik mentions, the bulk of the top shooters are in the 7mm or 30 caliber cartridges. Not to say the 6 dasher cannot compete, but in varying conditions, these calibers have more margin for error and wind reading errors. Again, it's hard to ignore that the 6 dasher is placing high in many disciplines. Its obvious that the round is just inherently accurate.

So...build 6 Dasher to swap in my 284 Shehane rig? I'm leaning towards it, especially when a lot of local matches on range 12 in Sac Valley are less than 800 yards. Its a tough decision for me since Im not a sponsored shooter and would have to invest a lot of money on brass, bullets, barrels, chambering cost, etc.

If I built a 6 dasher, I think I will be going based on feedback and my research...a no neck turn 271, and 125-135 FB for the 105 hybrids. 1:7.5-1:8 twist, 30" barrel in either Bartlein or Krieger.
