6mm br rem/ 6. Dasher

[kawsam62s]

Good afternoon Can a 6 mm br Remington case be fire formed into a six dasher case?
Is it worth the trouble? this is my first step into the Dasher world, and I had some of the six BR Remington given to me a while back that I never tossed.
Thanks for the help Scott

Yes they can. Id recommend that you fire form with a false shoulder to make sure the case head is firmly against the bolt face on firing and jamming the bullet into the lands as a secondary insurance. Done this way I get 100% survival of my Lapua 6BR cases formed to Dasher.

You can buy Alpha and maybe others but the necks will be larger diameter and may not work well in a chamber cut with a reamer intended for Lapua 6BR brass.

If I were you, I would get some Peterson dasher brass and forget the fire forming.

I wouldnt do it. The 6 Rem BR chamber isn't the same as the 6BR Norma. That brass is smaller at the web. The same animal, but different. Buy 6 dasher brass, which is available.

Now that Dasher brass is available from both Alpha and Peterson, why would anyone want to fireform 6BR?

Norma Dasher Brass is now the STD. short neck also.
Buy New Dasher Brass and save time and Money..........

I use only Lapua brass and have fireformed using a false shoulder and loading long. But recently I have been using hydroformed brass with good results.

What is involved in the hydroforming process? Who’s die set up? Are you using?

I send brass to DJ’s brass service. Cost about $70 per 100
