6Dasher die mod

[bootlaceb]

I want to rebarrel my 6br and change to Dasher. Can I, or is it advisable to use my Dasher reamer to ream my current Forster dies? I use the Bump die and seater.
The Dasher dies are pretty pricey, and if this can work, one will save quite a packet!

I Love my Dasher, I love my 6BR. It is not worth putting out the $$$$$ for alittle extra FPS. The 6BR held the 1,000 yd record for A couple years. But if you have the $$$ well then you have to do it! Nuff said

I have a 9twist barrel, want to shoot the heavier bullets, so while I am at it...

Talking of which, the 105gr Hybrids are said to shoot with a 8 twist min, would a 7.5 then work better? Also, as for the 108 SMK's.

A wilson die is not hardened if you use one for a bullet seater or get a blank 6mm seater die for a arbor press and you can use your reamer. sizing die is a little different, you can buy a forster dasher die very reasonable, and you can have the neck honed at a very low cost from forster.......jim
