Favorite 6MM Build

Why not make 6x47L brass? That would be good. But I would love to see Dasher brass made. I am trying to find a reason to get a barrel done in it. But my 6x47L performs well.

Kill shot, I would advise you not to have your Dasher reamer cut back to to 1.545. I currently have a Kreiger barrel chambered to those dimensions and it produces the shortest brass of all my reamers. My longest brass forms off a 1.565 chamber and I believe this actually helps in forming longer necks. Don't know about others, but for me the shorter the reamer the shorter the formed brass.
Count me in for the long neck Dasher.

This is very true, The longer 1.564-5 chamber will produce fire formed brass in the 1.550- 1.554 range very consistently. You have to do it right to achieve this length and uniformity, I trim to 1.550. This gives me a .015 clearance to the end of my chamber……. jim

6x47 laupa! simple to make brass and will shoot better than most people can hold!

The 6x47L wil not shoot as good as the Dasher consistently…………. jim

For 200 yd. target shooting slow fire from 3 or 4 positions I found the 30-06 that everyone else used to kick harder than I wanted.

I ordered a new M70 Varmint (26" heavy bbl.) in 1957 chambered for the .243 and I did very well with it using reduced loads.

Thus I ordered a new 40X in 6mm Rem. Intl. which is a 250 Sav. with it's shoulder pushed back and a long neck. I loaded the 75 gr Sierra over a light load of 3031. That was a winning combination.

What it took to win was superior aiming and not rifle accuracy.

I only mention it as historical fact. Today I might choose the easiest to get small 6mm which may be the 6mmBR?

Here is my 40X with a test scope on it. Those matches are shot with irons.

is that a Authentic 40X International??? Wow if it is!!!! Very Very cool.

And/or 6br with longer neck to allow more flexibility in wildcatting combined with a bit more meat near the web to give a bit more support for use in a repeater action
