Title: 6 MM Dasherand 6 MM ARC
Post by: Alchase on January 30, 2021, 06:53:35 PM: I was watching Shooting USA yesterday a d they were showing the results of a rifle shoot.
They asked each shooter what caliber they were shooting.
Of the thirty something shooters, all but two were shooting the 6mm Dasher. The other two were shooting the 6mm ~~ARC~~ BR.

Anyone have experience with either of these?
Are they available in over the counter ammo?

I think it would make an interesting rebarrel for my cz 527 in 7.62x39, same bolt face. Roughly approximates a .250 savage, but with less wind drift.

I was thinking the same thing,
But I am to lazy to start reloading again, and want to buy an AR upper that is good to go.
I guess I have a long wait ahead.

The br based chamberings are like the easy button for accuracy.

Of course. But with 95% of the comp guys using varget..... why load develop with anything else ?
