Interesting, I found the weld on my JP, but on the Seekins I can’t find one.

Might not be one if you can’t see it. Maybe they Rocksett it on. Got a pic of the Seekins? Both sides?

What case are are you using? Barrel twist?

Obvious answer is highest bc bullet that can be pushed fast enough to take advantage of it. A heavy for caliber bullet won't make much sense if the case doesn't have enough powder capacity to push it.

I was shooting norma brass. It's about at the end of ots life. Just picked a hundred pieces of Peterson long I need to fire form.

Barrel is a 9 twist Bart finished at 26"

Maybe buy a 360 precision TCS steel rail or a manners TCS Max steel rail and add it to your LRH. Be a bit weird, but it should work. I think the 360 rail is about 40oz and the manners TCS Max rail is about the same, plus you can add an additional nose weight to the TCS Max rail if you want.

Not sure how the lightly built LRH will like a heavy rail hanging off the front, but it's something you could try.

The 360 rail will fit the LRH? Good to know since I was planning on calling them this week about some machining work.

Not until I spray RAID Wasp & Hornet Killer up that hole. That stuff is great and it sprays a 12 foot jet in front so you don't have to be anywhere near that nest....

Isn’t that the same

Praying for you guys.

I have one for my daughter’s family.

Pray for the right moves and correctly interpreting of where they are and where they need to be.

If her mom was your wife's sister, she would still be your SIL. But with her dad being your brother, that's probably a little too close, even by SEC standards... She is still gorgeous...

What's your neck dimension, and are your turning necks ? Im trying to avoid that if at all possible.

Also, what brass are you using to form your cases ?

Click to expand...

I went with a 0.255" neck to avoid turning necks. Both Alpha and Lapua brass measure 0.251" loaded from memory. So the 0.255" neck works with either and avoids the need to turn necks.

I've used Lapua before and the current brass I'm shooting is Alpha. With either brand I start with a 6 BR case and fire form it with a false shoulder and jammed round to my BRA chamber. For 22 Dasher I'm not sure which route I'd go. I've read someone say they only necked down Alpha 6 Dasher brass and then fired it and shot it like normal. However I'm not sure if that would work well with every 22 Dasher reamer. If your working with Manson ask the person designing your reamer what brass they recommend to start with. I'd guess Ray is probably designing the reamer and I expect he could give you a better starting point with brass than me for that specific reamer.

However if I had to speculate, I'd guess necking down 6 Dasher brass should work fine because the shoulder angle isn't changing so I'd expect the current 6 Dasher shoulder remains in place. My BRA is a whole different situation since the shoulder angle changes while the neck diameter also changes compared to the parent case which results in the shoulder location moving and requiring more jamming to fire form.

Also I should add:
22 BRA with an 85.5gr Berger LRHT, Alpha Brass, and Varget can achieve around 3150 in a 26" barrel and I start to get cratered primers and some heavy bolt lift pushing past 3200 FPS. I also think there's powders out there than could push the speed even further. N540 shot extremely fast for me the one time I tried it, XBR was also reported to have high velocity. I tend to run mine more in the 3000 - 3080 range since that's plenty performance for me and I'd rather extend barrel life. Although I haven't tried a 22 Dasher yet it seems to have a few more grains of capacity than I need for a 22 cal. What's your velocity goal with the Dasher or is there any specific reason to go with a Dasher for a 22 over a BR/BRA?
