The 6mm dasher seems to be the thing to get if you are a reloader. Are you happy with it?
yes and no.
the rifle, more specifically the action i got - mpa pmr pro 2 - is very finnicky in regard of feeding from the magazine.
i do not know if all 3 lug actions exhibit this issue, but it was a pita to deal with magazines and try to find the bending of lips to stop rounds from dropping in and getting stuck as bullet presses into the barrel instead on getting into chamber. i think i mostly fixed it, but i do not fully trust it anymore and did not take it yet to any timed environment because of this.
it shoots amazing, though. as of dasher caliber itself, brass is now available from alpha, i have fire formed my own from lapua 6BR and used alpha pre-made, both are equally fine. if i knew what i do now - i would probably go with a generic 6BR, to be honest, not sure if it was worth extra effort to get a dasher, but, "no ragrets" here.
dasher allows extra capacity for the powder, but if you load up to that capacity, brass does not last long, as after couple of reloads at max - that is anything above 31gr varget - primer pocket expands and, well, it is done. and that brass is not cheap to just toss it away after 2 shots done.
read here more about it. i am not sure if any dances around magazines fixes this issue reliably.
Hi all, I'm having issues with the feeding of Dasher through my Axiom action. I know a lot of people use this action/chambering combo, so it's got to be something on my end. Specs for everything I can think of below. The rounds are tipping over the lug abutments and driving into the face...

when i shoot for my leisure - i 3d printed a feeding ramp and load it by hand one round at a time, it is way simpler that way.
