Testing 6 Dasher with RL16 and 2 seating depths

[MattS]

Got out today to test pressure, seating depth and velocity on my new Dasher, had 98rds on it from fire forming. 34.5grs shows rounded primer edges still. Going to work up to 35.5grs+ next time out then it's time to start tuning at 400 which is the max yardage I have easily available to me. 30" Bartlien 4 groove.

Keep easing up on powder. Get yourself a 10-12 inch drop tube if you don't already have one.. You should find good accuracy at a little over 36 gr. I shoot 105 VLD hunting and it shoots very good at 400. About 3100 FPS.
So far with RE-16, I have not found any pressure signs in anything I have used it in. It has a really smooth pressure curve.

Thank you for the info!

Was researching long drop tubes last night, using a satern funnel now so I'll need to purchase a funnel/long tube setup.

21st Century has some nice long tubes. I got one for RL 16 in my Dasher.

I use a 20 drop tube (carbon arrow from Walmart) It works great.
