With 1052 good luck my buddies ain't get'n 3000 with Peterson, but any way you slice it, the Lapua will give more performance,,, I would never hassle with the dasher for less than 100 fps over the 6BR Norma to begin with, but when you go to Peterson in either version, 6BR or 6 Dasher. It won't have as much advantage as the Lapua. Now these guy's ain't afraid to blow primers trying to get what they had,, and both gave up, just telling it the way it is, hopefully to save others the disappointment!I get that fireforming stretches and thins the brass. That’s my point - the Peterson dasher brass doesn’t get stretched and thinned out in the neck and shoulder as much as 6BR.
That said, I have Peterson and Lapua 6BR brass and even there the Peterson is thicker. So it will have less capacity as 6BR or a variant, of course. But that difference is a fairer comparison from a benchrest shooters point of view. (Comparing 6 Dasher made from 6BR)
Peterson Dasher brass is probably quite popular with the PRS crowd, who want the performance level of Dasher without the fuss and tears when pieces don’t get picked up. Cracking over 3000fps isn’t as critical.

I just bought a 6 Dasher Panda 17# built light 600 yard bench gun, I didn't even shoot it with less than 200 rounds on the new Krieger barrel, I sent it to my gun smith as soon as I got it, and it is now a 6x47 Lapua, no hassle, and obviously more performance, with brass as good as Lapua 6BR Norma, maybe better?.
