6 dasher neck tension

[Barlow]

I know there are variables, but what neck tension seems to work the best for 6 Dasher. I am using the 105 Amax, but don't limit your answers to just this bullet. Thanks, Barlow

All rifles are different, try 1-2 thou as most will be using either of them.

The testin I have done shows that it seems to relate to the powder your shooting. In my dasher I got my best results with very light tension .0005'' using varget and .002'' with rl15. I base this on tests looking at vertical spread at 1k yds. I also anneal every time which will reduce neck tension greatly vs not annealing with the same amount of press fit.

A thousandth or less has prevailed over-all for me in 6Dasher's with 103 to 115 bullets. While I don't find neck tension a major effecting aspect, I do find it to have relevance and can fine tune a load with it alone. I start at .001 for load development, then after I find the load and seating, I fine tune it with neck tension.

I run a little more tension like you tom. I use varget though for powder and shoot the 105 VLD about 10 in. Matt

Not written in stone but usually if jumping a little more tension seems to be better and a little less if touching or jamming. JMHO
