Oh yes of course you told me about it last year, you were helping me with my 6brx, might have even been the year before that, and you sent me your reamer print with the longer freebore and I used it now for over a year,...love it, anyway you were telling me your thoughts then, was it with the Tac that you shot the really small 600 yard group with or was that the 6brx? can't remember, at anyrate keep us informed about your wildcat Tim, I just had a 6brdx chambered and it is real close to your wildcat, I can't wait to get shooting it.tclaunch said:I been messing with wildcats for years, mostly hunting calibers. I decided to try my hand at something different for shootin paper. Cabin fever had a lot to do with it too, but I wanted a little more neck on a Dasher case, and Dave Kiff was nice enough to help with he tough part helping me with my design. Its only a bit different than a Dasher, but thats OK as thats the best of the best for my money for 600 yds. I ended up with my initials being T.A.C. and since it uses the same shoulder it was dubbed 6mm TAC 40, the neck is a mere .028" longer. Most will say not worth messing with, and I hold no quarrels with that, but it at least is a new case for me to mess with, in my old age! It also appears to shoot pretty well.
That is awesome Tim,.something to be real proud of for sure, I am embarrassed to tell you my best 1000 yard group with your ream, because it is huge compared to your groups but I got a 5.1" 10 shot group with it at 1000 yards this year and last year I got a low 6" 10 shot 100X with it so been very happy with it as those are my bests so far, working toward the 4" 100 hopefully this next weekend.thanks again Tim.tclaunch said:Last year was the BRTC and a .050" long BR with 30* shoulder. This one is different. I have a Henriksen BRDX tool ordered and am looking forward to its arrival. Its all fun!!
My smallest .8xx" 600 yd was with a 6 Dasher followed by a .981" with the BRX and reamer print I gave you, Tim
