Alpha 6BRA brass

What distance? What's the little spot by your thumb?

My same 871 yard spot i always shoot. I poked the pencil through my dot to mark the poa, as I needed to peel the dot to see colors.

So you are saying it has a chance?? Haha. I’d say 30.00 is where I’d be

If anyone is wondering what we mean when we talk about overall "ladder" shape, how the whole thing prints, this is as perfect as it gets. When you see one stay narrow, climb straight up, overlap, then break out, you know the barrel likes that powder/bullet combo and it will agg. The fact is grouped well on the way up is icing on the cake.

Very nice

I really hope this stuff pans out. I am so sick of fire forming.

That would be an understatement! Its early but man it looks really good. Theres a couple things being tested here so things need to play out a little more.

400’s!? Sweet news. Typically I thought it was 450’s for you and the BRA/Dasher guys

It's whichever one works the best on each barrel, but luckily the reciever tends to pick favorites. So after the first couple barrels, I usually have a clue where to start each new one on every particular gun. My data is as useless to you as it is to me, when I pick up a different rifle lol.

So the ladder posted yesterday looked better? Assuming this was different primer?

I picked up 300 pieces of Alpha 6 Dasher brass. Looks like very nice stuff. Still trying to decide if I want to keep it a 6 Dasher or neck it all down and do a 20 Dasher.
