6 mm Dasher.

I was at the range last night and a very chatty bench rest shooter showed me a picture of a 2.5 " 10 shot group that was shot at 1000 yards last weekend at a shoot in Montana. The gent told me it was a new world record. Muir, have you heard anything about this? Anyone?? That is crazy accurate. Heck the old record of 2.6 something was pretty darned good. I had never heard of a 6 mm Dasher until yesterday. Looked it up on Google, a short fat pig of a thing.

Yeah I had a friend who had one on a sako action, he loved it and always sweared by its accuracy, I think it would be a lot more popular, if it wasn't for the fire forming process etc..

Shiraz Balolia (Bullets.com) has commissioned Norma to make a largish quantity of Dasher brass removing most of the work. First delivery to the USA is due next month.

We're hoping (Gary Costello, March Scopes UK and Mark Ellis, 1967 Spud) that Norma can be persuaded to supply some to us in the UK too.

That is interesting Laurie what does it push the heavier bullets at approx? I'm guessing barrel life is an issue??

there is a chap on here who builds rifles and his user name is DASHERman.

the reason.... Neil shoots or used to shoot a 6mm dasher in comps at bisley. cracking round and well worth looking at if you fancy comp shooting.

the record as far as I can see is this one at 1000 yards
