Lapua Dasher brass release date?

[Varminterror]

Is Dasher in danger of being caught between 6GT and the 6BR variants?

Maybe I’m mentally stuck in the previous decades, but did the Dasher recently stop being a 6 BR variant?

You are correct. I was thinking more in case capacity.

You are correct. I was thinking more in case capacity.

We have a lot of cases with “just a little more” and “just a little less” capacity, and most are enjoying plenty of attention - hell, after a quarter century shooting the dasher, I’m more prone to think that NOW is the most stable era of its entire life. No, it’s not a SAAMI standardized round, no, there isn’t a multitude of factory rifles available for it, but it’s easier today than any time in history to adopt a Dasher, and with less drama or no more than MOST of the rounds on this list (of course, missing several fun 6mm’s outside and in-between).

So maybe the GT is dangerously between the full length cases and the BRetheren, maybe the creed is dangerously between 243win and GT, eh, idk, I don’t think any of these are in danger.

Also there is the 6BRX and 6BRDX in the family of the 6BR Norma. I have started working with the 6GT and I see it's potential for great accuracy and speed with heavier bullets.
As for release date on the Lapua 6 Dasher brass, not even Lapua or Capstone really know IMO.

Indeed. Hence:

(of course, missing several fun 6mm’s outside and in-between).

Naturally, no insult was intended to any of these cartridges by neglecting those many I did neglect to mention, among them BRDX, PPC, Grinch, Turbo40, 6mmAR, Hagar, CompMatch, SLR, PRC, x284, ‘06, Gibbs… and many others, outside and in between.

Doesn't seem so long ago that 1,000 yard bench rest competion was dominated by boomers like Rogues, Boo-Boo, Weatherby's, Winchester Magnums and the like. The Dasher became the incarnation of the little engine that could. I remember a gunsmith who I still respect highly telling me I'd never get that 6 Dasher to hit anything at 1K.
BTW, I appreciate that you took the time to type out Comp Match instead of using CM. We should all do that, especially with load info, to keep the doubt between Comp Match and (dare I say it) Creedmoor.

Long live the 6mm.
I have been a BR not for a long time, upped to Dasher Nut. I have shot some Big Scores at 600 and a few at 1000 yards with the Dasher and 105HB.
The Dasher has been and is fun and great.
I just built a 6 GT ??? This project is a new ball game. It is dream with the 109 range of Bullets, more Velocity than a Dasher for sure.
Hope to Hit a 1000 yard F/Class Match come spring... Time to Travel now........

I have only had a 6br and then jumped up to the 6xc. What I dont get is the continued love for the Dasher after the 6bra came along. Just look at the neck length difference = 5x less throat erosion with the 6bra ( and quantified by Alex Wheeler). My next 6xc barrel will have a .400 neck which should at minimum double barrel life.

Is the Nosler 6dasher any good

Nosler???
I am pretty sure they don't offer the Dasher brass or even 6BR brass.
Maybe you mean Norma 6 Dasher?

 

[David Conder]
