The 6mm Dasher is a high-performance, wildcat cartridge used primarily in precision rifle competitions. It is based on a modified 6mm BR (Bench Rest) case, which has been fire-formed to reduce body taper and increase the shoulder angle to 40 degrees. This results in increased case capacity and improved ballistic performance.
The cartridge is popular among competitive shooters due to its excellent accuracy, low recoil, and impressive consistency at long ranges. It typically fires 6mm (0.243 inch) diameter bullets, which are known for their high ballistic coefficients, making them highly effective for long-range shooting in windy conditions.
Its primary use cases include precision rifle matches, bench rest shooting, and varmint hunting. The 6mm Dasher is celebrated for its ability to deliver tight groupings and predictable performance, making it a top choice for those focused on precision and consistency in their shooting disciplines.
