Dasher loads with 80 Gr Berger

[NCVarhtr]

I have been looking for some good load advice for the Dasher with an 80 Gr bullet. I have looked thru the threads and most of the loads are either for the 90 to 105/108 gr bullets. I did see one or two loads for the 70 gr bullets but none for the 80 Grs. I would like to use either Varget or imr 8208XBR and I will probably use the 80 Gr. Berger or Barts 80 Gr Dominator. The Hodgdon website shows 70 Gr and 90 Gr loads and I can "guess" where to start from that but I was hoping some of you guys had some experience with the Dasher and 80 Gr bullets. The Berger manual starts with their 90 Gr bullets .... If you don't want to show it here, please feel free to PM me. Thanks very much....

I shoot a BRDX which is pretty close to a Dasher and I have used 6BR data plus 10% and never had any trouble,,if I was gonna shoot 80`s with Varget I would start at 33 and work up ..

Start at 34.0 8208 with the 80 gr Berger. You can possibly go up to 35.5. That's close to max load. (62383 psi). I got this data from quickload
