Have a couple slow twist 40x in the 6Br thinking of updating. Stay with the dasher and utilize my brass go with the 6 GT or 6 by 47. Is there one that tops these for a choice. Farm boy just shooting cans

My question about the 6GT’s case capacity in H2O grains still stands though.

I really wish there was a single resource out there that listed the case capacities of all the currently available 6mm wildcats (e.g., 6BR, 6BRA, 6BRX, 6AR, 6ART40I, 6HAGAR, 6GT, etc..), that would save me a lot of headache.

Never mind, I finally found info on the barrel lengths used. Sorry about that! My apologies!

My question is about barrel twist. Two of the three barrels were 1:7 and the third was 1:7.7. There is a photo of a 4 shot 600 yard group which, while still a nice group, shows off center point impact on the paper which frequently is an indication of marginal bullet stability. Was that the 7.7 twist barrel?

Would you recommend the 7 twist over a 7.5 or 7.7?

I enjoyed the article, thank you!

Steve,
Is your 22GT finished yet?

Nice article Vu!

Wow–great idea…ESPECIALLY for a specialty pistolero. My latest XP-100 was a factory rear grip 35 Rem., and since I needed a 22, my 22-6mm GT is already being built. That cartridge fits the short-action XP system perfectly–finally a round that does. Thanks GAP.

I forgot to ask for a comparison between the 6GT, 6 Dasher, 6 BRDX, 6mm Creedmoor in terms of velocity, accuracy, recoil, and barrel life… I had set myself on the 6mm Creedmoor path with a Proof Carbon fiber barrel mated to a tuned 700 , and I’m second guessing myself. A little help would go a long way!

Cheers,

In a bit late to the this party after starting a PhD program in September…

My burning question is: How does the 6GT compare to the 6mms Creedmoor?

All aside, I thought this was a great article!

Cheers

Thanks everyone. Its truly a group effort.

George Gardner got me rolling and helped me got me pointed in the right direction.

Alpha Munitions for the pre-production brass and answering tech questions I had on it. Those guys really strive to make the best product available.

Dan is a wizard when it comes to data gathering and wildcats.

Paul for giving me the opportunity to share this info on a large scale.

The knock on the Dasher is that 40 deg shoulder for feeding from other than a single-stack mag. That sharp shoulder IS great if you don’t like trimming cases.

The Dasher would hit the 2985-3040fps range with outstanding 1000yd elevation out of the 30″ Krieger’s that I employed. That might be a bit much for a 26″ tube.

This GT may be a really good NMC cartridge, but it might lack the poop for dedicated 1000yd work…my opinion.
