6Dasher dies/reamers/brass

Hengehold

Silver $$ Contributor
I am thinking about a 6Dasher. I would like to have the option to use Alpha dasher, Peterson dasher, or Lapua fireformed brass in it.

I have had brass/reamer/dies compatibility issues with the 6XC in the past and want to avoid it

Question: Are there compatibility issues at all that exist for the Dasher when it comes to the reamer, die, & brass designs all working together?
 
The only issue I have found is that the Alpha brass is thicker than the fire-formed Dasher and requires a different reamer or neck turning. I don't know about Peterson. I started shooting Alpha a couple barrels ago and just got another reamer with a 0.274" neck diameter. I didn't change any other dimensions and it shoots great.

I have quite a collection of sizing dies and all have worked satisfactorily.
 
I had issues with alpha dasher brass with hard bolt lift it was early 6 dasher brass had to run same loads as a 6br ditched the alpha brass and hydro formed lapua brass no I can get the benefits of the 6 dasher I had to practically give the 300 alpha brass away I will never buy alpha brass again.
 
I say Lapua Dasher Brass and don’t look back .

I am long time Dasher Nut from the Norma Brass with the .050 longer neck . Now unavailable.

Shoot Lapua or new Norma short neck brass out of that Norma chamber you will be fine and it will shoot great. I know guy who got in a hurry and accidentally trimmed all his Norma long neck to Lapua specs, about 200+ pieces, he shot them in the Norma chamber and they shot lights out, enough to win a state championship in Midrange F-Open.
