6 Dasher Varmint Loads

[Barossa_222]

Hi guys. Have a Sako 85 Varmint that I've had re-chambered to 6 Dasher with a no-turn neck and short throat. I'm currently running 65gr V-max pills and 58gr Z-max pills around 33.5-34gr of ADI AR2208 (Varget). Wondering what loads other guys are running with light pills. Seem to be a lot running on the heavier side, 87gr up.

I don't have the dasher, but my 6x6.8 is pretty close in size and like you I run the 55g-65g bullet for coyote, p-dogs, bobcats & a 90g for antelope.
I would think H335, benchmark, X8208, Varmint pro, w748 would do good in that case as well.

I see you are in Australia.

I run AA2230 and H335 with 55g nosler, 60g Sierra, 62g Benchrest, 65g V max and Benchrest, 70g Blitz king and ballistic tip, and 75g V max. The accuracy and Speed is unreal to say the least...no one would believe it. The 55g Nosler had a good BC, and 4050-4100 is the accuracy node with tiny groups at 300! This load is flatter shooting than a 220 Swift and 22/250 AI with about 10g+ less powder.

Good luck!
