Once MORE ! Hmm ! What to build ? a " 6 Dasher or 6 GT " RJ

Well I think with me suggesting the BR it’s obvious buuuuuut of those 2, dasher.

Ok Pal Thanks for your opinion RJ

Went 6GT after a long search and endless speculation myself. Am loving it and like that it throws 110 and 115's at good speeds. Not a creedmoor but close enough with better barrel life.
I think that the 6GT is the sweet spot between the BR, Dasher and the 6XC, 6 Creedmoor. Alpha OCD brass seems to be of excellent quality but also have some Lapua brass on the way.

WELL - I made up my mind and went with the 6 GT ! Shells - Berger 105 Hybrid Target over Varget and BR 4 primers in Alpha brass are all loaded for Sunday ! RJ

[HunztheMighty]

I have a a 6mm Barrel on the way and just about went the GT route but decided on 6x47 lapua

Was a close call between the two. Basically I already have 6.5x47 dies so thought it was cheaper to just buy a bushing. Otherwise I would have went GT

Sure hope you enjoy it!

Next weekend is 500 meters RJ

I figure the sooner I picked a calibre and rifle, the sooner I could start practicing and refining my own technique. But that's the point you have holes in paper and have to admit everything isn't going to be just utterly perfect with some yet-to-be-made equipment choices.

Are you planning on using it as a short to mid range F/O rifle, Jim?
Sounds like you have it well in hand.....

[remington jim]

Yes Cat 300 - 500 maybe 700 but the range we shoot 700 meters is in Barrier and has some viscous wind challenges there . I’ve only used my 284 F Open rifle there . Thxs Cat - RJ

If you really want to see how good it shoots, let Tam have a go with it next time I bring her up to coach ya

Basically I think it's more up to the shooter to make a good shot than something you get from picking the magical just-right calibre from far too many we have to pick from that are so close to each other. I understand we have to concatenate all the conditions for success to get to the podium, but it bothers me to see folks spending so much time agonizing over this.

Personally speaking, think choosing a cartridge is very important and has a lot of psychological impact on a person and can make the difference in the long run.
If a person doesn't like a particular cartridge ( for whatever reason) , there is a very good chance that they will not shoot the rifle as well as if it is chambered in something they like.
