20” dasher tikka prefit ordered. I went with the .154 freebore. Hoping it likes 112 mb’s.

Where did you get yours from?

Preferred. They had quite a few reamer options.

Dasher, GT, Creedmoor

I don’t think you can go wrong with the GT either. But as I said, my goal was 2000fps at 5-600 yards with the least recoil and most barrel life. Every time shoot these rifles I am impressed more and more with their consistency and ease of shooting.

How fast is the Dasher going to move the 116gr in a 24" barrel at wet-safe pressure?

I’m not sure yet. I just got a 7twist barrel in to get chambered and I’ll likely do 22”. If I can comfortably make 2650-2700 I’d be happy.

This is intriguing. What 20" velocities are we talking with berger 105s to tmk 107s?

My 20” dasher with 105 bergers is shooting 2744

Started breaking in Ladasha this morning. Pumped 50 107 TMKs through it, some may have found homes with some pests around the pond. Ridiculous how low recoil is, which I had those first 50 loaded really light. 29.5 grains of Varget was getting them just over 2500 after 50 rounds. 18” barrel. Next batch will be considerably hotter.

For the experienced dasher loaders, is varget the go to powder in the slightly heavier bullets as well? I’m planning to start there with the 112 MB’s. It’s gonna be a funny looking little round when it’s loaded up

Lot's of powders can work and work well, but if I'm playing for keeps I'll probably be starting and ending with Varget even for the heaviest bullets.
