Howa Mini 6 Dasher

Made some more progress 34gr first sign of ejector mark at 2858fps (1st pic the brass) ran up to 34.4gr (2895fps) got a good ejector mark but no signs of priner flattening out.

Had some 90gr tgk 34.4gr of leverevolution got my 3060fps and no pressure signs. Might load up some more to try out for a back up option or option for closer range work. The 90gr tgk and 108eldm both grouped in the same 5" circle at 457yrds.

I’d be careful as you speed up, that’s cooking.

Peterson brass is said to have much less capacity than alpha or Lapua, might be worth exploring if you want to retain some speed.
Good to know Peterson was the only brass I could find in canada. 33.8-34gr was a 7fps difference. So it seems to be the sweet spot. And not seeing any primer signs. But ill keep an eye on it and see if I can't find alpha brass if it in stock ever up here

Lapua is coming too eventually. If you look at cutaways the Peterson has a significantly thicker base.

Fwiw alpha dasher is the most consistent brass I have ever used without a doubt. I have 6 times fired brass that I cannot measure a difference in after sizing with my measuring tools.

I found some alpha brass coming into stock next week. Ill report back once I get it
