dasher damage

[edw]

First kill with my 6mm Norma Dasher. 300 yds with 105 Hybrid

Sweet!

And they say match bullets are not good to hunt with.

I bet he has indigestion!

Awesome.....

 

[misfire]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but the only word I can think of is WOW. Great job

You can not judge a bullet's performance by one shot. A texas heart shot and frontal facing shot would allow much more bullet expansion. Low broadside shots that only clip 1" -2" of meat are what worry me, you need extremes of expansion on varmint bullets for these kinds of shots.

A texas heart shot

LOL........

 

[thekriebles]

Impressive!!

The buzzards thank you and do they say grace before meals?

I hope that edw is a regular poster here! I like his style!

Reminds me of a song we sang at summer camp when we were kids. " here we sit with great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts and me without my spoon"

Coyotes will gobble that mess up!

You are absolutly correct here. But you usually are Keith!

That's very true. The second one I shot was at 550 yds. Again with a 105Hybrid and it was shot through the shoulder and out the opposite shoulder. The exit hole was maybe three times the bullet diameter. I'm trying the 105 Hunting hybrid the next time

Keep on trying, EDW! Please keep the pics coming. The failures are just as important as the explosions!

After your picture, I took some grapefruits out to 300 yards and shot 6 of them with a 105 A max with my Dasher. The explosions were so terrific that there was not even a little piece of a grapefruit left!

I am getting pretty good accuracy out of my Dasher and the 105 A max seated about .020 off the lands...can't remember the powder charge.

One thing for certain, you and your rifle are both great shooting!

Ya just got to love this caliber. I've shot a 6.5 Creedmoor for awhile (on my second barrel) and I use to think it was accurate until the Dasher came into my life!

Recoil has a lot to do with it. I just started shooting a 31" 6 XC, shooting the 105 A max at 3150 with some blistering accuracy, but 39g of IMR or H 4350...39.5g of R#17 is 3200 out of this barrel, 40.5 is 3/8" at 3270 fps...3/8" seems HUGE!
