I'm jumping on the Dasher bandwagon as well. Counting down the weeks until my barrel arrives. 1.275" parallel with a 30" finish length. Only about 12 weeks to go. I'm a BR tragic. 6BR Rem with a 1:14". 30BR with a 1:18" twist. This will be my first fast twist BR though.

So what was the final brass forming method? Turn all the way down the neck and jam a bullet then use a soft primer? Or false shoulder method?

If you are asking me.......I use false shoulder, fire form then just clean the necks up. My lapua runs at 0.014 - 0.015 after forming so I clean up to 0.014. Form the majority of the cases it is close to 100% of the circumference but a minute cut non the less. I haven't trimmed yet as they are under the max case length after 1-2 firings.

I FF with the false shoulder and 31gr 2208, works really well, very accurate , enough to shoot with but not as fast as the dasher with 32.6gr. I am trying some warmer loads tomorrow, thats pretty mild

cheers Andrew
