Wynne,

With the Dasher you should be about 26 Minutes up with a 100 yd zero and about 23 minutes with a 250 yd zero. I look forward to seeing you at the Open.

Dave

Wynne, it is not really a new barrel, it is the Brux Britt chambered for me last year. I shot it the last 4 or 5 matches. I took the Bartlein off as I was getting flyers.Sounds as though you should have a nice trip.

Dave

Wynne,

I understand you have your Dasher’s working pretty well. I changed barrels prior to Saturday’s and I think I am at least heading in the right direction. I look forward to enjoying you company again at the Open.

Dave

When I finish annealing, trimming, deburring and cleaning my last step is to chamber every piece of brass in the gun to verify that it chambers easily. It is just one more check to verify I didn’t miss sizing a piece of brass.

Dave

Wynne,

That is great. I will be looking forward to seeing you and Suze. I will really have to work to get the Dasher shooting.

See you soon.

Dave

Wynne,

Glad to see the forum back up. I enjoy seeing how you are doing down at the Reese Bottom, will we see you in PA for the World Open this year ?

Still searching for a good load in PA.

Dave

Wynne,

Conratulations, that is spectacular shooting, you have a real shooter there. I see Darrel Jones was shooting there as well; I just sent him some new Lapua brass to make into Dasher brass. Keep up the great shooting. You are certainly setting the bar high, I will have to really work at trying to keep up with those aggs.

Dave

Wynne,

Congratulations on the 500 Yd. small group agg. Inquiring minds want to know, how small was it. Seems that you have a shooter there. What was the load ?

Dave

Wynne,

Congratulations, it appears you have that Dasher shooting mighty well.

Dave

Wynne,

I will be watching the results anxiously as we are still a ways away from our first match. Shoot straight and small.

Dave, in the frigid Northeast

Al,

Like Wynne, I also use a Redding 6mm Dasher Bushing die. I anneal and full length size after every firing. I use a Wilson micrometer seating die with a small arbor press to seat bullets. This way I can seat them long and be able to fine tune at the range.

Dave

Jim,

I fireform as both Dave and Wynne do. I fireform my cases using the suggestions from accurateshooter.com listed here under FireForming using a false shoulder http://www.6mmbr.com/6improvedform.html . I use 31.8 of H-4895 and with the false shoulder it blows the case fairly well, I do a second firing and the case is fully formed with a crisp…[Read more]

Wynne,

I use carbide dies but even with them I started to have trouble with the necks not sizing properly and springing back. I always use full length sizing but that being said when I started annealing after every firing I found the sizing became much easier and the consistency was much better.

Dave

Wynne, that is certainly a good point. When I setup at Williamsport, 1000 yd., I try to always remember to lay the cross hair on the top edge of the target backer and level adjust the level so it is square to the backer. Otherwise the tracking does not stay straight. When I forget to do this it is generally quite apparent in the size of the group I shoot.

Wynne,

It is truly the curse of the flags, I have a hard enough time attempting to get all 10 bullets on the paper without having to try and figure out the flags. Especially which one to use the close ones or the more distant. It seems that when I attempt holding it is usually not enough or too much. I guess this is the reason we all keep coming…[Read more]

Good shooting Steve. I hope you enjoyed the 1000 yard shooting, it is truly addictive.

Dave

Good luck Steve…

Dave

Thank you all for the congrats. Hopefully I will be able to reign in the flyer in the next two matches.

Dave

Wynne,

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. I hope you are able to make your match this weekend and make little holes. Congratulations to Jason for a spectacular agg.

Dave

Al & Wynne,

I have experimented slightly with neck bushings, in that I used a 267 bushing initially for the Dasher and found it was seating a little to easily for my tastes. I then went back to a 266 bushing and that made it better, this was with a 2704 chamber. I just purchased a Benchsource Annealer and must say it certainly makes resizing the…[Read more]
