Dasher, BRX, or fast twist BR ??

[tootalloutdoors]

I'm shooting with a couple of Savage actions. I'm selling my short range barrels to try some long range shooting, 100-1000yds
I just compete with myself. Very competitive there. "really".. Live in Montana with some wind. I've done short range, and now want to do something different. I want to stay in the 6mm range. With emphasis on mid-long range, 600 yds. Still being able to be effective at 1000. I've go 22BR, and 6BR dies. Some guys in my home town here shoot in Missoulla's 1000yd matches. They are pretty hyped on the 6 dasher. And for good reason. This BRX sounds interesting. So does the dasher. So does a fast twist BR.
There. If you were doing it what would you do.
Thanks tootalloutdoors

Mind you I am just at the stage you are now.

Since you already have 6mmBR dies, I would consider the 6x47 lapua. A necked down 6.5x47 lapua shell. Not a big deal, just run it through your 6mmBR neck resizer and you are good to go.

I picked up a 6x47L reamer from pacific tool, and I am now debating. I am also setting up a 22x47 lapua and a 30BR and those will happen first, so now I am debating on 6mm and for some unknown reason am thinking I might want something different in the 6mm line, like a 6mmx55 swiss or a 6mm-06.

At any rate the new tubbs 118 grain bullet looks perfect for 600-1000 yards.

Keep in mind that the new Tubb 117gr bullet has a VERY long bearing surface. If you shoot this bullet, with the bottom of the bearing surface above the neck shoulder junction, you'll have trouble shooting the 105s, 106s, and 107s.

With Tubb's DTAC 115s you can do a compromise throat that will let you shoot the lighter bullets too.

The 6mm-6.5x47 is a very promising cartridge and accuracy looks to be quite good. Still you won't see huge gains vs. the Dasher or BRX--max velocity is about 100 fps more with a 105 but that's not necessarily where those bullets like to shoot. On the other hand, you don't have to worry about fire-forming and,occassional) split necks that you might get with the 6mmBR improveds.
