I'm considering changing one of my F-Open .284 to a 6mm of some kind. A lot of choices out there: 6mmBR, Dasher .243 Win, .243 AI, 6 PPC, BRX, BRBS and BR-DX, just to name a few. Will use the rifle at F-Class Mid-Range - 300, 500 & 600 yards. The action is a Bat. Would like at least 2500 round barrel life. Which 6 would the expects recommend?
New Project - a 6, but which one?

- Start date
what barrel twist for the BRA?
7.5 or 8 twist

2 guns I barreled for friends. 1 a BRX just won the Nevada State Mid Range F Championships with 3200 rounds on it. The other a Dasher with over 2000 on it is going as strong as ever. Both have been shot exclusively with RL16. It’s looking like RL16 may give better barrel life than Varget in the BRX and Dasher. And definitely gives more speed w less pressure.

The Dasher has been displaced by the 6 BRA in LR BR. The BRA tunes to the same velocity nodes as the Dasher with about a grain less powder so its a tad less likely to go out of tune at a match.
This would definitely work for you.
