6 Dasher

[WalleyeGod]

Just finished up with building a 6 Dasher for my bro. He bought my old barrel chambered in a 6 Dasher off a Rem action, and my old HS precision stock, and a used Rem .243 (for the action). Had a gunsmith friend take the old .243 barrel off and put the Dasher barrel on the Rem action, install a muzzle brake, tune the trigger, true the action, change out the factory stock and put on the HS precision.

6br case on the left, formed Dasher case on the right.

Now to scope her up and doublecheck loads. Plan on using my old load which should work just great. Sell him some already formed brass of mine and get some new 6mmBR Lapua brass to do some fire forming and he will be ready to shoot long range rabbits.

Shoot straight,

Walleye God, If that's for long range rabbits, just how big do the rabbits grow in your area?? Or maybe I should ask, how long is the range to them? One hit from that and there won't be much left to eat..

I hadn't heard of the Dasher, so I did an Internet search and read up on it, and how a North Dakota guy used the round to set a 1,000 yard accuracy record (just over a 6-inch group). Very cool round!

WG that is one sweet looking round and I'm in the same boat as Foss I havent heard of the dasher so I will be doing a search as well so I can cheack it out a little more closely.

Keep up the nice work

Jack rabbits in New Mexico. Good sized critters of which he is not interested in eating. Just in thumping real good. Leave for the coyotes to eat then shoot them too.

Yeh, we have grown to love the Dasher for 600-1,000 yard work. It is just a pleasure to shoot compared to the bigger stuff. The ol' BR is good too with just a little less velocity compared to the Dasher or BRX. The BR is available in a factory offering and the Dasher and other improved versions are still wildcat rounds and are not offered in a factory rifle.

I hope to post my Dasher also once it is done being re-barreled and a new stock/bedding. Need to work up the new load and get it ready for rifle league and prairie doggin.

For more information on the Dasher refer to 6mmbrdotcom. Look on left side for 6BR Improved. You sure can ask here too.

Shoot straight,

It's looking good WG. Just waiting for some bases and rings to mount my new 4.5-14 Big Sky and the 20 VarTarg will be ready for the range. Loaded up a few rounds so I can start breaking her in. Hope to see you there soon.

Waska:

Sounds good. That VarTarg should be a Pdog slayin machine. Us gun nuts expect pics and story here you know.....

I just picked up my revamped Dasher last night. Hope to have pics and story posted on that in the next week or so.

Jackrabbits aren't near as good as cottontails on the table, but they do work great in stew. Mmmmmmmmmm, can you say Jackrabbit Dasher Stew? Well, not like the Dasher would leave a lot of jack behind, but all ya really need is the hindquarters.

Steve:

Head shots would leave plenty for making stew.
