Dasher is Complete

[Chuckhunter]

Had an old Action and Stock from my Benchrest days and decided to get into this long range stuff. Had my smith put together a 6 Dasher for me on an Old Wichita 1375 Action, in a McMillen Heavy bench stock with some forearm modification a very old but still quite good Canjar LP trigger and an 8 twist Kreiger .237 bore barrel. Used the false shoulder method to form brass with 30yr old 68Gr. Berger FB benchrest bullets and very old Scottish H-322 powder. The cases formed very nice and the groups were quite respectable for just taking a dead hold and using no wind flags. Can't wait to try it with full throttle loads and Berger 105Vld's and 107 SMK's.

Chuck,

Would love to see a better, full length pix and your cradle looks like it needs to be shown off a bit too....

Nice job!!!! What chambering did you use?
Good luck: And, have fun shooting the DASHER.

Very nice!!! Seeing pictures like this doesn't help me any in resisting putting together another rifle. Hope it shoots as good as it looks!

Rod, here is the picture of the cleaning cradle you requested. This one is made from Oak but any nice hardwood would work. This one is for a 3" forearm but you could make it any width to fit the stock or stocks that you have.
