Alex just said it was BRA.

He is tougher than any female hurricane.

From my personal experiance across hundreds of guns, its not even close.

All OK up there Alex ?

Yes sir!

But mostly, I'd say the one that gets driven best is the winner. There's also a lot to popularity. If a field is made up of mostly one cartridge, odds go in it's favor even before the commence fire is given.

This question is asked many many times and IMO this is as good an answer as you’ll ever get!

When I quit the long range game it was 30 vs 6.5. There was very few 6mm. Bullets have gotten much better from what I see. I would like to try one of these dasher things!

A 240mk @ 3005fps would handly beat a 6.5 139-142gr, IF YOU COULD SHOOT, unless it was dead calm which was never the case! Calm conditions it was dead even, the shooter was the deciding factor

My dasher with a slippery 6mm bullet will hold it's own against anything you can throw at it in group shooting at 600. Custom 6mm bullets are the cats pajamas, and tough to beat.
However, I have seen plenty of times the 6.5, 7, and 30's kick my backside in score....... and sometimes in group!

I haven't been doing the 1000 yd. BR game long, don't have any relevant experience, not an optimum rest, scope, stock, action, reloading process, components, load testing method or slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But I do have some excellent coaches and have thus far been very impressed by the 6 Dasher.

I never shot the 600yrd game. I competed at 1000yrds.

 

[R.Morehouse]

2 American companies making quality brass for the Dasher is what got me into one for the foreseeable future.......

theres a guy that shoots a Dasher at our 600 matches and dose very well but when we go to 1k he uses a 284 and struggles sometimes getting beat by a Dasher

Its the same at 1k. Its all about conditions. Anything decent and the 6mms are gonna be at the top 99% of the time. Any of the BR variants can and do win. Its very tough to see the differences without a large sample size. The 300s do still have a place, even at 600. A lot of national wins would not have happened without them. When it gets nasty they are really hard to beat.

Don't care what case your shooting it's Bullets and Barrels seen it to many times!
When you get the right barrel and bullets your golden.
But I do shoot a Dasher and 300wsm! But the conditions are the killer for most guys.

Joe from Williamsport club? If so, Long TIme! It's Rich Dillon

 

[6MMsteve]

when I first started shooting 1000yds I thought bigger would be better, but the 6mm cranked out around 2003 and groups started getting small, I mean a whole relay may be 4 to 7 inches or less 10 or 12 shooters...then of course the 11 o'clock wind hits and goodbye, or you might say the sun is warming the air, I'm going by Penn 1000yd data just at a glance

 

[Bottom Fodder]

So I’m somewhat thinking from reply’s if someone wins with 6mm over one the heavy‘s they were better on the conditions

I can't see the lighter bullets doing better in 'conditions'. I see the lighter bullets being easier to 'drive', which most of the time you don't usually have bad conditions. That said there will always be some 'conditions'. But, constantly shooting a rifle/cartridge that can handle those conditions allows you to shoot better in most conditions.
