[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 484323, member: 10"] Lapua Guy, I do like the Dasher for sure. When it first came to light however you heard all these claims of +4000 fps with 55-58 gr bullets and 3200 fps with 105 to 107 gr match bullets and I always wondered just how in the hell they were getting these numbers. Like most new wildcats, things can get a little blown out of perspective which I think was the case there. When I referred to the "Magic" of the 6mm Dasher, I was referring to these early claims. In reality, 2900-2950 fps seems just about right in the Dasher with the 107 gr SMK which again, is quite impressive at 1000 yards, I fully agree. Personally, I like the 6mm-250 better, may not be the modern case design but I really do not like fireforming for a high volume rifle and any rifle I have in this class will be a high volume varmint rig. I am not a 100 or 200 yard BR shooter but for them, its not a big deal to form up only 100 rounds and your set. For the Montana P. Dog hunter, 500 rounds is a good weekend of shooting and I hate to have to reload while the dogs are barking back at me!!! LOL It is a great round though, amazing what can be gotten out of that little BR case. I have been thinking of doing a similiar wildcat on the 20 cal. I think that would be about the cats rear for a high performance 20 cal varmint round. [/QUOTE]
