6BRA versus 6 Dasher @ 600 yards

[Alex Wheeler]

3 years ago when I started chambering the 6BRAckley and started to push it and tell guys it would out agg the dasher I got nothing but crap on this site for it. All I can say is that I am not surprised in the least about the records falling like they have. Next year should be even better

OH You aren’t the only one brother! I’m the guy that was crazy enough to say the Dasher was overbore and flipped shots! Several had meltdowns over that! I’ll take a 6BR or 6BRA over a Dasher any day.

Nothing to do with being the only one at all. I have always made sure to give credit to the guys doing it before me. I have said a bunch of times I have nothing to do with the cases creation. But the internet would be a much more valuable resource if people would have a little first hand experience with something before they form opinions! LOL

 

[greisdor]

Yeah - that Norma Dasher really got me last match - flipped two shots right out of the x ring.. Crap only got 50 3X out of it....

The caliber is sound, something is probably askew in your system. Or you could have been unlucky and gotten a couple of dud barrels.

Not uncommon for people to get "crap" for saying anything new. Sadly... Sometimes it is like watching members of a cult when you challenge their doctrine. People can become very invested in their "stuff", and I find it funny that the Dasher replaced something... but the Dasher will never be replaced? It is just silly.

I am glad you were right Alex, couldn't happen to a cooler guy.

I just bought some H4895. Loaded 4 rounds of my old stuff and 4 with the new both with 30.6. The old lot Chronographed at 2966. The new lot avg 3003. Can't say if it's better or worse yet. But it is hotter!

Bart

Same for me, my new H4895 is Lot#7086. Speeds are as follows,
30.0= 2946
30.2= 2979
30.4= 2985
30.6= 3005
31.1= 3041

The old lot#5517 was at 2952 with 30.6

There it is!!! I’ll have to check but I think we have the same lot number! Did you get it from Powder Valley?

Those velocities were recorded with only one shot over a Magnetospeed.
Tonight I ran 5 at29.8 over my Magnetospeed and the 5 shots with a 103VT seated .010 in the lands averaged 2961.

Nah systems where good.. Could unscrew barrel go back to 6BRX and it was great, tried 2x 6BRX barrels in it..
I should give Rushty my 2 lots of powder to try and see if it was the powder. I just had my 2nd 6BRA barrel (700 rounds on it) cut an inch off and rechambered to 6BRX and am testing that to see if it has same problems.
But I still want to give the 6BRA another go as they do shoot and seen it.
