Anyone fiddling with a 6mm GT?

With the Alpha 6mm Dasher brass out now,
I could not see a reason to mess with it.
Interesting idea.

6.5x47 Lapua brass has been getting necked down to 6x47s for as long as that cartridge has been around....
Same performance...same bullets. Just another marketing ploy wrapped up in another cartridge with another fancy name.

Big article on the 6GT in the 2020 Hodgdon Annual Reloading Manual. It sits between the Dasher and the 6x47, says the article. Max load with 110 gr. Hornady A-Tip with a 2.600'' Col is 3,075 fps.

What's the dasher and 6x47 do with 110's?

What's the dasher and 6x47 do with 110's? Dasher with 107's (heaviest bullet in manual) max speed of 2,978 fps. 6x47 with 108's (heaviest bullet in manual), max speed of 2,996 fps.

That surely hasn’t been obtainable in the few I have been around locally. It’s already been dumped by a couple guys. To answer Jud.... My current 6BRX (Dasher twin with 30* shoulder) is running 108s at 2990 out of a 26” Hawk Hill. The 6x47s I ran were pre 110s and most everything that was put through them were 105 Hybrids/VLDs/AMaxes. All of those were north of 3k easily in 26” barrels too.
