Dasher brass to BRX - Hints?

[skiutah02]

I purchased a rifle in 6Dasher that came with 2-3 times fired Dasher brass. I am set up for 6BRX and would like to convert the brass over to 6BRX. It look to be in very good shape and even has primer pockets uniformed. It is currently ready to load.

Any thoughts on best way to get it to 6BRX? I have a 6BR non-bushing FL sizer and a 6BR bushing sizer. I'm guessing a true FL 6BRX die would work best, but I'd rather not buy one.

Another option is to sell it and start with new 6BR, but that's not as fun.

I would lube one up real well and sacrifice it to the brx god. I'm doubting it will work though.

Option B.

Crank one thru your 6brx die setup. I have done this and it creates as small 30 deg flat on the shoulder body junction.

Sell it. Curb your treacherous impulses and stick with .223 Rem or .308 Win.

In case a future reloader has the same question, you can convert it. I ran well lubed dasher brass into my forester 6br fl sizing die that is set to size my newly fireformed 6brx brass for neck turning and it set the shoulder angle back without bumping the shoulder back more than 0.001. Fired it in the new 6brx chamber successfully. I did this to 12 pieces without issue. It remains to be seen how durable they will be. I will leave the other 150+ piece alone in case I move to a 6Dasher in the future.....Drew

Drew, Does this mean that Brian didn't convert everyone to a Tac40 yet?

Not me, wouldn't be any fun just shooting 10s and Xs all day/week/month. Mr. "what's a 9?" did suggest, however, I should stay an FTR shooter...
