6mm dasher cases

what are your thoughts on the dasr casaes that are being made now.i see that they are not as good as the 6mm br lapua case that are used to make themback in the day so to speak...
 
I use the 6mm Dasher Alpha cases, exclusively, they have been good cases...primer pockets are on the tight slide, so go with Remington 7 1/2 primers as the cups have a slight bevel allowing normal seating. They have been taking pressure well cause I pushed them a bit, as most handloaders do...
The 6mm Dasher could double as a varmint rifle, as I shot the 55 gr, 58 gr, and 70 gr with good accuracy and velocities...over 4000 fps with the 2 lighter bullets, and over 3700 fps with the 70 bullets. The 6mm Dasher is very versatile...could check the ballistics between the two, 6mm and 22 dasher to help with your decision, on what is right for your needs.

What twist barrel did you shoot light lighter bullets in? I'm wanting to use the dasher to shoot praire dogs. Mine is 8t
 
I'm shooting a 28" Bartlein 5R .237" X .243" 7.5 twist. The 58 Vmax 243 at 4086 fps (good accuracy)and the 55 Nosler both handled the RPM at 4000 plus fps...so you should have no problem...longer range? higher BC is 70 gr Nosler at 3700 plus fps.
