ok thanks guys good to know. i’m going to rebarrel to a dasher so good to know.
Can you shoot the difference? It probably doesn’t matter. But I use Alpha and in order to justify my choice, I’m willing to die on the hill claiming Alpha is the most bestest of all time.
That’s a more honest response.
That’s a more honest response.
None of my chambers are “tight necked” and the time and effort to get a tight necked chamber and keep a supply of brass neck turned for it would be time and effort wasted. No turn necks and no-prep alpha brass is shooting between .3 and .5 from a barricade and nothing would be gained by trying to get that down to .2-.4.
Practice over prep-work.
You talk to enough shooters (I had the same experience with my 6.5 & 6BR Peterson) they’ll tell you they get lots of clicky’s aka rounds that don’t go off. And early pressure compared to Lapua or alpha.
ok thanks that’s what i wanted to hear thanks i’ve always been a lapua person but brass is hard to fine so guess i will try alpha .
Yea I’m a Lapua guy for most things but didn’t want to fire form it for Dasher so I went alpha easy button.
.014” is what I measured and also from multiple different batches. One thing about Alpha is their consistency is top level.
Very happy with Alpha, the only weird thing I noticed is primer depth pocket out of SAAMI spec. I bought the primer precision gauge from Accuracy one recently and got 0.113” of primer pocket depth with Alpha Brass out of the box. Also my Petersons are slightly out of spec at 0.116”. SAAMI says 0.117” to 0.123” I am not keen to shave material out of the primer pocket, but since primers I use (cci450 and 205m) are perfectly in spec at 0.120” I am still asking myself whether I am crunching them too much.
.113 to .120 is quite a bit of crush...IMHO to much. I uniform all of my primer pockets for the reasons you mention in your post and have used just about every PP tool they make. If you decide to uniform PP I would suggest you get the PMA tool, it is made just a bit smaller so that it does not cut into the side walls.

not now but thinking about getting in to it . i can shoot out to about only 400 yds here at home but only about 1 1/2 hours form vapor trail gun range in MO so that’s not too far i live in southern iowa.
