Berger 108BT in Dasher -> Speed?

[Cool Tool]

26"-30" Dashers run from 3000-3070 for me. Most used set of brass has 13 firings on it and pockets are just fine.

WEll I am going to ask the same question again do you shoot the upper nodes an how often do you win in those nodes I think that is a reasonable question.

I looked back at the original title to this thread and noticed it started about Berger 108's. I shoot 103 Vaportrails just for clarification. But, in my experience all fall in the "105 class" of bullets.

I won more than my fair share this year at 600yd IBS bench rest. I shot 3 barrels on my light gun 26,28 and 29". Velocity varied with weather and bore condition from 3000-3030fps depending on the day. I shot a 284 Shehane on the HG a couple weekends but the Dasher barrel was a 30". Shot 33.6 grains of LRM ~3070 and 32.8 Varget ~3050. I won with it but I wasn't happy with the vertical it had part of the time. I dropped it down to 32.6 ~3030 and increased neck tension and thought I had it figured out. After targets 5&6 at the nationals I figured out something I was doing was causing the groups to open up vertically.

As to these nodes, I wish I could help but I guess I don't really understand the term.

I shot 13 screamer groups this season, 5 of which were sub inch. Sorry, the smallest one is missing from the picture. it was a .70xx".

As far as winning, right now I'm 2nd in SOY points and won LG group, 6th score, 1st LG overall, 1st HG score, 2nd in group, 1st HG overall and 1st in 2 gun at the nationals. I was very fortunate this year.

George almost everybody I know shoots them over 3000 in competition. Do you own a Dasher? I had one barrel that would not get 3000. All the rest easily got it. The best accuracy usually occurred somewhere right past 3000. Matt

If you're not going to run them 3000 plus why build a dasher ? Larry

Because its accurate....and faster than a br. The main reason i built one is because i got tired of getting beat by them! Speed is a number, thats it. Its a reference point but doesnt define accuracy.

Congratulations on your season so the brass will live a long time at those speeds that's what I need to know thanks an congrats again.

I use Lapua brass. And yes it holds up just fine.

Some lots of powder are different, some barrels are slower, chambers work differently. In some cases you just may not be able to push them hard enough. That DOES NOT mean it won't still shoot little.

It ain't a drag race.

Thanks Jason it gives a lot of good merit hearing that from you congrats on a job well done the brass is so expensive just don't like destroying was hoping there is another node slower were brass would definitely live longer thanks for your input.

You don't have to be going over 3000fps, I know lots of people going 2950-2975 and doing great, not every barrel or bullet will shoot good that fast. If they do great but remember accuracy is the most important even if your your going slow.

Now all you got to do is convince the wind .

so everybody is using the same chrono same barrel same powder same bullet primer and all these numbers coincide? I'm missing something
