New 6Dasher build First Timer;)

[MattS]

My first venture into F/Open and I'm liking it so far! Always been a Tac rifle/F-TR guy.

Specs:
Remington LH SA with PTG bolt
Shehane MBR tracker
Jewel 2oz
Vortex Golden Eagle
Bartlein HV 4 groove finished at 30"
.269 neck - .104fb(chamber by Pierce Engineering)

First 30 rounds fire formed today, jam and shoot didn't lose one. Bench is less then ideal at my local club range

100 yards
30gr Varget
105gr Hornady bthp
.030" jam

Nice! Looks like it's going to be a shooter.

Your gonna love the dasher...

From all my reading on here I believe so....

Nice! Looks like it's going to be a shooter.

It looks that way...the .257 group was 25-30 round count no cleaning. Can not wait to get into load development with this rifle

Good lookin' rig, looks like it shoots just fine!

 

[CaptainMal]

That is seriously good shooting while fire forming. You are in load development right now.

Looks great! I might be a little anal but I would try to get those necks turned a little smoother.

Thank you, yes they are driving me crazy! Borrowed Sinclair turner don't know how much use on it....or I just don't know how to use it correctly, first tight neck rifle I've had.

FYI my safe moving partner told me to get inside a couple weeks ago because I was at the doorway realigning the door mat by half an inch after we moved a safe for a customer

If you don't mind me asking, what front rest are you using?

You'll absolutely love the dasher, my favorite round.

Purchased here from the marketplace, it's okay but like others have posted the windage backlash can be annoying

34 more rounds fired Sunday, only 35 more to go. Would've been a bunch of 1's & 2's if the dummy pressing the bang switch did his job

Still trying to figure out which powder I want to test first RL15 (which I've shot a lot in 308) RL16 or Varget.

Please feel free to respond with your opinion on powder choice

All 3 are mothers milk in a 6Dasher... give all 3 a try and let the barrel tell which it likes best.

Pic and work up with one first, and find the seating with it, then try the other 2 powders with that same seating, is my advise on how to go after it.
Good Luck
