Norma 6Dasher Brass

So I just received my order of Norma 6 Dasher brass and it looks great. Very uniform so far. I only measured 10 or so out of the order. I'm going to trim it down to fit my chamber and load it up. It's great to have over the counter 6 Dasher Brass. Thanks again Shiraz.

Dan - - If you have a moment:

What's the OAL of the new brass?

What's it load out at in terms of neck diameter?

i have a general similar question. i have two dasher barrels. one barrel is on a more or less 'plinking' rifle. i have yet to use it. i would like to use this brass initially on this barrel. My other barrel uses lapua fire formed and if i use some of this brass on that barrel i plan to trim to the same length. The question is, do i need to trim this brass to use in any barrel unless i have one reamed by a reamer specific to this brass? In other words, is the brass too long for run of the mill dasher chamberings of various reamers used by most gunsmiths?

The simple answer is "Yes". This brass is too long (only in the neck) for the "old" chambers. Send your barrel to your gunsmith and have him extend the neck deeper with a neck reamer to match the brass. You can also have him throat the bullet deeper if you want to load the bullet farther out in the neck.

Of course, you can do what some of the guys are doing and trim the neck back to match your chamber neck length.
 
guys the overall length of the brass is right at 1.597" and the neck unloaded is .266". I don't know the neck wall thickness, I don't have a good ball mike at the moment.
 
Got my shipment notification this mornng...! Yes, thanks to Shiraz and his team for all of the hard work that went into making this happen.

I have a Sinclair digital neck mic. Send me some and I will measure them for you. 100 should be enough for a statistically valid sample population, 200 to be safe. :)

Every back order including the thirty or so new orders that came in over the weekend were shipped yesterday. We are caught up, and still have a few left from this air shipment.

Thank you everyone for the business and for your patience while we worked through the lengthy development process.

Patiently ( Impatiently :confused: ) waiting to get my hands on some of this coveted brass to see what it looks like first hand.

I hope it`s good, as it was a long difficult journey, Thanks to Shiraz and his Elves for not only making this happen but getting it out the door to us impatient customers..........;)

Got my shipping email for the brass last night. Picked up 8# of Varget today just for this brass..

Ray,

Can you tell if it's annealed?
 
Lot of people received shipments - but what's the measured OAL of the cases and what's a loaded neck dia?
