Last season I ran a 6mm Dasher.
Ran 105g Berger hybrids at 3070 fps.
At 500 yards I have never seen a rifle shoot that well.Or come togeather as fast to find a load.
At 1000 yards in the two day shoot I shot back to back 29s.Which is just excellent.29 out of a possible 40.At 1100 rounds even though we scoped it and it didnt look all that bad.Im down to the low 20s if im lucky.
I played around with the load and came up with a dandy load at 500 yards that did very well.But running 100 fps slower than my 3070 load.You can just watch those bullets blow around in the wind.When the conditions are mild its ok.But in the middle of the afternoon.Its just not very effective..
I shoot against guys running just about everything.6x47s 6mm Dashers and Kevin Cram actually runs a 6CM with the 115g DTACs.Another guy runs a 6XC.They all can be made to shoot very well and there all nice and mild in the recoil department.Which makes the a pleasure to shoot.But if you run them up over 3000 none of them last very long.
A 6.5x47 at 2000 rounds can still win a match at 1000 yards.
No 6mm I know of can do that.

Only accurate rifles are interesting.
