Best of luck for the first 1,000 yd shoot.

Dave

Dave

Shoot small and favor the center.

Dave

The range looks great, please let me know how the new E targets work in the match. You are making great strides with the E targets I hope all goes great.

Shoot small with Dasher!!

Dave

It is great that the E targets are working well for you. Give me a call when you get a free minute to discuss them.

Dave

Happy New Year to you and Suze!!! Sounds as though you have made some great upgrades at Reese Bottom. I will be interested to know how you find shooting with the Shot Marker system. It seems it would be a great asset for matches and especially for working up loads.

Dave

Will you make it up to Williamsport for the Open this year? Roger is a true gentleman and a great competitor,he won the Heavy Gun score at the World Open last year shooting a Dasher!

Congrats on the hardware you brought back from the 1000 Yd match.

DBB

You chose a great smith. Britt built the first custom long range gun I purchased, although Britt built it for Wynne first. It is a 6 BR that will typically shoot better than I can. The picture below was taken at Williamsport during the 2013 World Open, five shots in 1 1/2 inches, it was fabulous. Unfortunately we shoot 10 shot groups, so…[Read more]

Good to hear that things are moving towards Spring in WV. They are a little slow in the NE but I think we may hit 70 this weekend. I have been shooting H-4895 in the Dasher with the PB 105’s with I believe 32.4 gn and CCI450. I will check on the load when I get home but that load seems to work pretty well.

See you in Willamsport..…[Read more]

Congratulations on the Day 2 Light Gun Relay win and once again thank you for the loan of the Dasher for my two gun relay.

It was great to see you.

Dave

Check out a Seecamp in either 32 cal or 380 they are tiny and DA action. They are small enough to fit in a pocket holster and you will never know yu are carrying it.

DBB

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

Dave

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

Dave

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

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

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

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

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

Dave

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

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

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]

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

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]

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

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]

I was so excited with Ray shooting the 3″ group I never asked him about the load. I believe he said the barrel was a Bartlein 5R. I don’t believe Ray is an especially fast shooter.

The bullet I been testng is a 105 VLD from Precision Ballistics in Nevada. The owner said he shoots an .008 jam but the .002 jump seemed to shoot better when…[Read more]

Thank you for the congrats. Ray Laudenslager shot the 3.340 group, he had a new barrel that he had just finished and put 4 rounds on the bank Friday afternoon after test firing two rounds at hi house. Next morning he shot the 3.340 from a Dasher for a new club record.

The Dasher I shot with the new barrel from Britt, I tried some loads…[Read more]

I was testing some loads yesterday and had a VLD jammed .008 running charges from 30.2 to 30.8. It was also in the mid 80’s with 70%+ humidity at 30.8 I did crater a primer pretty well. I believe you are correct in the thought that the fact you are jamming the VLD’s vs my jumping the Hybrid’s allows for the difference in charge weight.

I…[Read more]

I am working up loads in the Dasher that are VLD’s and SMK’s that are just touching the lands. It will be interesting to see how that…[Read more]

The temperature was in the 80’s. No problem with the bolt lift. Come the World Open in two weeks I will probably keep the ammo in a cooler just to keep the pressures down. I was running 31.0 gn of Varget last year before Britt rechambered the barrel.

Dave

Thanks so much for the congrats. I t is all because of you and Britt; Britt built a fabulous gun at your behest. I receive compliments on the rifle all the time. When I tell folks that it is built on a Savage action they are amazed. I have been working on trying to get my scores to be better and it seems as though I was successful this…[Read more]
