If rechambering a barrel which br variant would you choose?

[Billmanweh]

I'm happy with my BRA, but I had H4895 and Lapua brass stashed away. Starting over now, I'd do a Dasher and use Alpha brass and Varget.

Nope not a joke.

Iv had some brass come out like that fire forming bra, just a few. Resized them back and shot them hotter.

If someone has answered this then disregard the question, I don't know the answer, much less understand the question
Or is this a joke ?

They designer was literally a rocket scientist and used rocket engine combustion chamber technology to design it.

Here is a little info.

The Golden Era Of Varminting Is Now

Evolution of the shooting sports has been progressing for hundreds of years, but the most recent innovations have taken ballistic performance far above what was

I have been looking at both the bra and the brx mostly because I can reuse the brass I already have.

You realize you can fireform those to 6 Dasher, right?

I just went through this. After lots of success over many years with a .262 neck bra clambering in quite s gee barrels in an effort to get away from so much neck turning I went with a .269 neck 6bra. I should have stayed with the brx case just a different neck size. So I jumped, wish I had stayed put.

Why do you wish you had stayed?

If I had to make that choice I would go with the Dasher. I love that round and have all reloading dies I need. Since I also have a 6BR with a barrel approaching end stage in the throat I plan to stick with the BR in a slower twist, for Club level short range BR. I could have the old barrel rechambered to A Dasher but it's threaded for a Remington XP100 action and would be going to a Pierce P-1000, and I don't know if it might need a complete shortening and rethreading which makes the 26" barrel shortened to whatever seem a waste of money.

With the same amount of powder I am 50 fps slower and double the ES. It's early but not enthused at this point.

A 6mm wolfpup would be interesting!

Kris, after seeing your post about your rest, don’t bother buying a cheap barrel to practice on. Your MORE than skilled enough to jump right in to chambering a Krieger, Bartlein, etc..

Thanks man!

Kind of depends on what you want to do, but at least for me I look at what is currently winning the most and holds the most records. Thats a 6BRA. Thats not to say others dont win but its not that close when you look at records.

 

[WIB3]

You need to compile the info based on what location number of BRA’s versus Dashers. Different reigns show a different turnout. I believe that they both are about equal at around 2980 fps. Bump that up to 3060ish where some Dashers shoot extremely well with the proper bullet combination and it’s light out. They shoot extremely well in a 20-25mph wind.

When I shoot out my 6BR Krieger, I will go faster twist and probably a 6BRA or even have a 6.5BRA made up. I have 8 twist now and want a 7 twist

 

[Alex Wheeler]

With most lots of H4895 the high node is around 3030 in a 28" barrel. But a lot of guys that shoot the low node will beat guys at the high node and vice versa.

I'd choose the BRX. I did this once and was happy with the decision. Well enough that I have Zack building another 6BRX now.

My brx is hands down the most accurate thing I’ve ever shot. Fireforming, wc 844 and Sierra 60hp’s ….I’m varmint shooter, no interest in match competition. Cases done by necking to .25 then back down. Get the exact crush you want that way. I’ll be trying some cases made from Alpha dasher brass. Easy enough to do….dasher case into the 6 br body sizer until it chambers to you’re comfortable with it. The neck/ shoulder junction will actually blow forward a bit. Interestingly, Alpha 6BRA brass is 5 gr heavier than fresh brown box Lapua 6BR, at least the few samples of each I weighed. And fresh Alpha 6BRX was/is 10 gr heavier than that same Lapua. Next time at Alpha I’ll ask about that.

I wouldn't bother with a green mountain barrel.
If you have a lathe go with krieger.
