I AM THRILLED WITH THE PROGRAM.
I've been working with Ammar for the last 18 months as he started Trace Ammo and trying our his various ammo development projects in 6 Dasher, 6.5 CM, 308, 223
. I am his first 6 Dasher customer in this program. Over the last year I have purchased over 1,200 rounds of his 6 Dasher test loads. I recently gave him back the brass and have gotten back 1,000 rounds of reloaded Dasher.
Load:
Berger 108 bthp
Petersen brass
(Trace confidential)
CCI 450 primer
Trace resized, washed, chamfered, mandrelled, and reloaded my brass.
I am getting a VERY consistent
>2854 muzzle velocity
>sub-10 SD on 10 shot and more strings (5-6 SDs on 5 shots strings)
>very consistent sub ~.4 inch groups
(26" Bartlien 400ModBB barrel, chambered by Axis Works, ~1500 rds on the barrel in below pics, on an Impact Action, MPA chassis)
I do reload my match ammo in Alpha Brass with 105 Berger HTs. But this weekend I shot a club match in Arizona with the Trace 108 reloads and took 5th place. The ammo was excellent, not getting a better finish was all on me.
The group picture is a 1/4 inch diamond zeroing target 5 shot group.
