Dasher

[kochie]

What twist barrel would you guys get in a 6 dasher 8 or 7.5 ? 28 inch barrel

 

[HTSmith]

Whichever one you can get first in the brand and contour you prefer. Either works fine with 105 class bullets. JME. If I had to order and wait a year, I'd order a 7.5 just in case you wanted to try some of the heavier bullets.

Ok thanks

I would say definitely go with the 8 twist. I tried a 7.5 and a 7.75 twist and neither shot anywhere near as well as the 8 twist barrels I used. I don’t think it was just luck of the draw either, because every 8 twist I’ve ever had shot better than those 7.5 and 7.75 barrels. Same gun, same reamer, and same gunsmith.

Ok thanks that’s very good info

I favor the faster twist in all calibers I shoot that allows me to use heavy bullets.
My 1 in 7.5 Krieger shoots small groups with 108, 109 and 115 Bergers.

1-7.5 ...........30"
I have two one Obermeyer 5R and one Brux .
They both drive tacks. Not sure I would Change ?
I have shot 103's 105's 107's and 108's out of them.
I find 105 HB #1
107's will surprise you.

7.5” no accuracy loss and much more versatile.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

They have set records from 7.5 to 8. Most have been 7.75 to 8 though.

What barrel length are the 1000 yard guys shooting dashers and bra’s with?

What barre length are the 1000 yard guys shooting dashers and bra’s with?

Never found a reason to go over 28" with my Dashers.

Standard length Heavy Varmint Krieger blank comes 29", cut an inch off the end, and it finishes an ounce or 2 under 17 pounds in my gun.

30”For Me .

 

[Sightcast-Alan]

I’m shooting a 30” in mine as well and loving it so far

My first 6Dasher barrels were finished at 28", but since have had 7 barrels finished at 31". Will not be going back to 28", and like the increased velocity of the longer barrels, which yields equal velocity from lighter charges, hence; less pressure, tighter primer pockets, and increased brass life - IME.

I agree, shooting in f open midrange with it I’m not concerned about the weight and the extra length helps as you said

 

[swd]

I’ve shot from 26” to 31”.

I’ve shot from 26” to 31”.

"26 long enough for 800m in your view?

26” will work fine. Longer just helps you get into higher nodes and or lower pressure but it also depends on what powder your shooting. One of the best barrels I ever had was 27”.

I can only choose from VV powders.What would be your first choice?
