6BRA versus 6 Dasher @ 600 yards

[Nick_Mansfield]

Just run a patch of WORLD FAMOUS HOBO OIL(tm) down any barrel chambered in your choice dasher/bra to close up the groups at long range. Make your dasher shoot with bra’s or bras shoot with Dashers....Or find a mentor that is well experienced in whichever you choose to shoot

The Bra may be showing signs of life at our range. It shined at the monthly 300 yard match today. This is a score only match consisting of three, 10-shot targets on the 300 yard IBS target. Below is today's results. It was very hot today, but some managed to shoot through the mirage. I did not attend the match. Good shooting...James

Does anyone else feel a bit of OCD rage when Creedmoor is misspelled? It feels like a childish snub.

Thats the version with more to offer, not unlike the bra over the br

Personally I am inspired by James Mock.
The young fellas all shoot smaller than I do and I’m ok with that.
I truly find it amazing what they can accomplish.
I’m sometimes disappointed in my performance but never disappointed in the 6 mm BR cartridge.
I hope that when I’m 75 I can get out of bed and to a match period.

Best Regards and much Respect James

Well, if you can't, Don't blame being 75. your just not moving enough. It's a bear getting started again.

I am going to make a pilgrimage to Pioneer LA this Saturday (7/20) for our monthly 600 yard match. In this I will shoot my BAT/Leonard chambered in 6 BRA and will be shooting 30.6 gr. H 4895/ Bart's 105 Gungnirs (+.006)/Federal 205 M. This load has shot well in practice and I hope that I can improve on my performance of late. The weather will be very hot/humid and the wind from 6 to 8 o'clock at ~5 mph. After all of the rain, we may have a major battle with mirage.

I'll just stick with my dasher ..Thanks

You won’t know what your missing till you try for yourself, good bad or otherwise..

Well Here is some food for thought! The 6BRA Holds the smallest groups ever recorded at 1000 and 600 yards. Both 600 and 1000 yard Shooter of the Year were won with 6BRA last year.

Now it looks like the 6BRA will hold the 1000 yard record for the 10 target aggregate and the 6 target Aggregate!

Hummmm!!!!!! There could be something to this 6BRA thing.

I expect some of that success might be shared with those fancy stocks made by the legendary Alex Wheeler..... not to mention, how many of those rifles were built by Alex?
Lots of variables besides differences in the cartridges.

There’s always plenty of reasons for success. I believe both the Dave and Tom were shooting dashers by Alex. Same thing with type stocks! Both of those guys had a great deal of success with dashers. But now they are shooting 6BRAs! So did they switch because they wanted to handicap themselves??? I don’t think so. Really The main thing that changed IS the caliber.

The old 10 match group agg was Tom's. In his own words it was the best dasher barrel he'd ever had. It was crushed (not by a little) this year twice with multiple 6BRA barrels. Everyone knows my opinion, and I even shot a couple aggs myself with a dasher, so its not like Im not a dasher fan. But the 6BRA will out agg it, period.

Not arguing
I’ve had that conversation with Tom.
What I said and apparently failed to articulate is, some of the credit has got to go to the improvements in equipment design.
If the wheeler stock/rudder have nothing to do with it, Okay.
I’m not buying it, but Ok.

There's actually been 17 records mid and long range come just out of Alex's shop in the post BRA/2017 era. Plus yours, Mike's and whatever others I'm not aware of.

Exactly!

Mr. Wheeler is a credit to his profession, and has made significant contributions to the accuracy game!

Clay, thank you. I see what your saying. Yes equipment has also improved and will continue to. But in no way will I take credit for records. The work that goes into tuning a rifle and keeping it there is where the credit lies. It honestly makes me feel a little uncomfortable, lol.

Clay, thank you. I see what your saying. Yes equipment has also improved and will continue to. But in no way will I take part of the credit. The work that goes into tuning a rifle and keeping it there is where the credit lies. It honestly makes me feel uncomfortable, so let get back on the topic of tuning!

Fair enough

How many of the recent records were shot with Bart’s bullets?

How many of those were shot by Bart?
