6GT VS 6Dasher 

The sound is bad for me is there any reason?

Pluses for the 6Gt.1. Higher velocity, if you want it. It still feeds from a magazine better than the Dasher and BR. It can use a wider variety of powders, A larger range of bullet weights and shapes. It is arguably easier to tune than a 6.5/6X47, 6Br etc. including a 6/6,5 Creedmoor. And, it still allows you to track trace and stay in the scope for missed follow-ups. Oh, and now its available as factory assembled Match rounds with a new 109gr ELD from Hornady, and from Clay's Cartridge Company with Hornady brass and Berger 105gr Hybrid.. All that being said the Dasher and BR are awesome cartridges. Oh, almost forgot, the 6GT's longer neck improves bullet seating stability especially when stretching out seating depth closer to the lands. Nuf said

Yep, I’ve been shooting a 6BR for over 10 years now and have no desire to change. If I want to use something bigger, I’ll grab the .260.

My reason for the go to of the GT comes into component versatility to run it… more powder selection to get the same performance and speeds as Dasher or BR. Now a days it harder to get your go to powder. I’ve ran Varget, H4350, N140, N150, H4895 and more

Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I have been shooting rimfire for some time but years ago did a lot of gunsmithing shot long range for sniper training and deployment. I suffered a significant spinal injury, rehab took some time but when I could I started shooting rimfire and enjoy that. my rifles and reloading equipment had been sold while I was recovering so I’ve got lots to buy and not much of a budget. Fortunately my lathe and tools remain and I’ve continued to build rifles for friends and people I had done work for prior to my injury. I have had to give up hunting and some days just keeping up with things is a challenge to keep going but I find myself wanting to shoot longer distances again and have, of course built some of the light recoiling, flat shooting rifles for my customers. I have been looking at the sea of 6mm offerings and struggling with what to build. Not much money and lots to buy. I’ve got a good press and a few odd things from a friend but that’s about it. What you said makes sense, the less I need to fiddle with forming brass, not shooting hot is great for me physically. They tell me I’ll continue to get less mobile and might not have a lot of time, but I hate giving up and shooting has been my sport since I was a boy and I’d really like to get out and enjoy the time I have. It’s hard to believe how much things have progressed. I’m sorry for the long winded comment, I know you’re busy but any advice and assistance you could provide would be so appreciated!

The 6XC needs some love ;) I was thinking dasher or GT but brass cost is a factor. I could have gone 6 creed, but imo the XC tunes easier with the same powders, and $82 per 100 pieces of peterson brass from David Tubb is a game changer for me.

I went with a custom barrel in 243win, for the simple fact it's the most popular 6mm cartridge in existence. Getting factory ammo for the empty brass wouldn't be an issue, if my supply of Lapua & Hornady brass dried up.

I love all cartridges and calibers. They all have they place at the diner table. I don't do prs but I shoot a 243 win rpr,and hunt with it.

I absolutely love my 6GT now that my barrel has broken in!!! The 6br is a good cartridge too, my friend Ross shoots that. If I was going to do it again I would probley do the 6XC myself.

I’m not a competition shooter. But used to shoot gophers out to 300 and a bit with my 6mm Remington in a model 700 varmint barrel. With 105 gr speer spitzer bullets I have recently put it a MDT chassis. Updated to FFP 34 mil tube scope And I am ringing steel out to 750. Not saying that the Br or Dasher or GT are not great choices. But the old 6mm Remington is still a very accurate cartridge. Thanks for letting me ramble. Lol Cheers

Great video, makes me want to chamber up a 6BR for comparison!

To me the best benefit of the six GT is the many different powders you can use. When components get hard to find you can always find a powder that will work in the GT

Technically, your rifle was actually having an extraction/ejection issue as a result of the scope mount interference, rather than a feeding issue. Also, both of these 6mm rounds are redundant; the 6mm BR has been winning competitions for years.

The BR family will ALWAYS have feeding problems. The 6mm GT sounds great but I shoot a 6mm HOT ( 6mm/6.5X47 ) and the accuracy is superb and easy to tune. I’d definitely will go with a 6GT for my next barrel though.

I love all the 6 BR family of cartridges. They're nearly impossible to shoot badly haha. I had a similar ejection problem with my Sako TRG 22 in 6BR. What happened was the case got flung out by the ejection plunger just as it left the chamber, but before it made it back to the ejection port. Such a short case is allowed to almost turn sideways inside such a big, beefy action. Re-barrelling to a 6x47Lap and then an additional switch barrel in .260AI makes for a good all-rounder!

6BR based rounds have Lapua brass as an added benefit.

The Gay Tiger round is more tolerant and has more inclusivity when it comes to mags (less modification), and the slightly longer case prevents over-tilting when loading into the chamber- even when cycling the bolt at gay tiger speeds. 🐯⚡💯

I just found your channel and I really like it. You put out some interesting pieces of info that I don’t see much elsewhere. Some of your opinions are slightly different than alot of the larger precision rifle channels but you always give a lot of logic behind those opinions. Thanks for making a great resource for newbs like me.

Great video.. Bought a Seekins Hit Pro in 6.5 CM and a 6GT barrel.. should be here next week.. Looking forward to trying it out

Pete I don’t know how this video slipped by me till now . I really get why George invented the 6 GT . I have extraction issues with my BR and BRA and this is exactly why they came up with the 6 GT . I do love my BRA though and I have a 6 XC that covers the heavier bullets . I don’t think I will be re tooling soon .Thanks for all you do .Bruce

Just to add to my comment about the old 6mm Remington. I know I can’t run the heavier high BC bullets. But it stabilizes the 90 and 100 gr bullets well And have never had feed issues. And hitting steel at 750 with a 45 year old action and barrel is just Cool 😎

6br all the way as a benchrest guy Lapua brass 30.32 gr varget Cci450 105 hybrids @ 2880 fps = sub 1/4 groups @100 yds with just about anyone behind the trigger

Dankie Pieter.. Ek het gesukkel om te besluit, maar Jy het dit goed duidelik gemaak.. 6BR 👊🏻

I'm using Peterson 6 Dasher brass in mine. Not having to fireform was a decider for me to go 6 Dasher. Not many people seem to know that it is available.

Both rounds sound great to me. The lack of factory loaded ammo and also factory brass for the dasher would indefinitely push me over to the 6GT side though. I can do without factory ammo…maybe… but I don’t care for cartridges with no mass produced factory brass.

I have run a BR and a Dasher and my Dasher is much more accurate, especially out past 600 yards. We shoot out to 1200 yards in our competitions. You would have less case capacity and it may be more difficult to run the 109s in a BR as well.

I 100% agree with the straight 6br. I have been shooting the 6br for many years and have no reason to change. I find chasing the latest and greatest only wastes time and money for me but I am not shooting high level competition either so there is that.

Shooting 6 Dasher at 2750 fps does not make much sense. If you want to shoot 109 Hybrids at 2750, you can go with 6BR. No fireforming, just load Lapua brass out of the box and shoot. Dasher was degined to handle 109-115gr bullets at 2900-3100 speed window.

The GT feeds better than dasher but as you say you can get specific mags or play with the feed lips to help

This video has just helped me decide. I was contemplating 6 creed or 6BR (currently running .308) for a new prs build. Thanks for confirming my thoughts 👍 6BR 👍👍👍

Would love to see some game cooking videos 🙌🏻🤞🏻

I was thinking about the GT. My club is doing a 600 yard competition. Does it have a decent barrel life ? What about the 6x47?

Gt all the way

Few weeks ago we shot our season finale. I run gas gun. (6 ARC) After we shot our last stage I wanted to check out some of the others guys' glass. As I'm doing so my friend says "Hey, few rounds in that mag if you want to try a bolt gun". No, I had not shot a open division bolt gun. He has a beautiful rifle chambered in 6GT. I thought sure, why not? Season is done I'll try it. To say I was impressed is a understatement. That open division rifle made 875 yards seem like childsplay. The recoil was light (But then again it is a 20+ lbs rifle), his glass is better than mine, easy to track, it was fantastic. All that said, after next season (2023) I plan on switching to open division but I'm going a totally different route, bolt gun in 6 ARC. I already know the limits of running a 105 and 109 berger with VV N150. (No, there's no load data for that.) With 105's on N150 I'm running at 2614 fps, sd 5 es 25. Slow? Yes. Consistent? Well, way better than factory ammo. Recoil is very light and out of my gasser 1/2 MOA is not a problem. So when I switch to bolt gun I'm sticking with ARC. Nobody makes a smooth action you say? Tuebor Precision in MI does. I'm not looking for screaming velocity. All any of us needs is consistency and accuracy. Is BR a bit faster? Yep. Not enough will be gained for me to spend the money to entirely change out dies etc to switch to anything else.

Wonder what the case life is between the different cartridges?

The audio for this video does not work at all for me, watching on my phone?

More of this please!

6BR extremely logical. My friend Red Cornellison in... 60' shot the first Nats with a 2340... .223 blown to 40... it's 63 years later... and I own that piece of history... No disrespect to RC... KUDO'S to you for explaining what we all get lost in... like the 6ARC I am shooting winning numbers with.. a couple times. Respectfully, Seth 10:48

I needed this video so bad! I'll have wait till I get to my laptop to hear it tho :,(

I went 6GT and won my first match with it.....but i came from 6.5 creed. Go video !

Hi Mate- I had a question about the brass for the GT and Dasher. Very hard cases to come by here, and very expensive. Have you tried to resize 22-250 brass? Even if it needs fireforming we have plenty of 22-250 here... just not sure if it crush the case.... Got any 22-250 brass you can give it a go for me? Thanks bud. :D

Excellent video Pieter!

Hey Buddy, This sounds great on SMART PHONE formats, but on the laptop, NO AUDIO or WEAK AUDIO.... I am sure you already know there is an issue. just give you the status from the USA/Indiana state. I am sure it is something silly.

Have you shot 6 arc?

I just retired and want to build a fun ACCURATE rifle. I don’t do matches. I live in alaska and have sitka blacktail deer here, also those HUGE brown bear. Anyway is the 6 dasher the bullet of choice for accuracy? Great video

"Deadpool" haha

100 years ago the Swedish 6.5 x 55 mm was developed and I don't understand how these new calibers do anything better.

6Dasher can fit in an AR15 mag , bc its max oal shorter than 2.26 which prob will solve the problem. but that's another solution for looking for problems LOL

Sako true short action is the reason for 6bbr 6ppc etc.,.

What about a 6 BRA? I’ve read that fireforming loads can be just as accurate as already fireformed loads. Plus get the benefits of the 40° shoulder of the Dasher.

@IMPACT SHOOTING How did you solve that issue with the scope mount? I was considering using a one piece MDT scope mount with my 6 Dasher build.

Good article, Thanks!

Why can't I hear your audio on your videos at all on the past couple

Good discussion and advice thankyou for takibg yhe time. Canadian Shooter and enjiy uour videos.& blogs.

If people are going back to slower speeds, I wouldn't be surprised if people start going back to 6.5 creed. Out of a 26" barrel you can get 153.5s going 2700-2750 and have way better wind resistance than the 6mm bullets

What 6mm would u chamber for Hunting that can perform at least 3100fps with at least 105gr or more?.( high bc only)

6x47L best group .070" at 2970fps and under .2" all day long with "cheap" Hornady 105 BTHP. 😎

6mm ARC ????

why not just go all out and go .243 AL i know it’s a bigger case but would be the best option

Would you're answer change at all on what you would use if you where going to use the same gun for hunting as competition.

Muted sound on my computer, a few seconds of sound at 5min mark for a few shots then back to mute even at full volume.

Sounds like the same pitch Keith gave me when he built my 6BR!

Great comparison Piet! Love the based on reality view

pretty sure you mentioned this on a different video but..... where are all the BAT builds?

Volume is screwed up BAD

A little late to the party, but would your answer change if 6dasher brass was available? I was going to go with a 6 br until alpha had 6 dasher brass in stock. I figured I can run low velocities if I want, I can run high velocities if I want. Barrel life should be very similar to straight 6 br but just more flexible.

Great informative video as usual. Thanks

6gt with 105's 33 gn of varget and 2,945 fps very little recoil , can't beat that . and the sound is perfect , don't know why you guys can't hear.

This was great . I thought 6 Dasher sounded great. Well, dang.

love your videos, I am looking at going from gas to bolt and building a PRS gun. Have you done any research on the 6ARC? I have been reading people are pulling the 6mm down to 2800-ish which is 6ARC territory. Thoughts?

Audio is still not working on this video.☹️☹️

6 GT!!! All the way a lot more powders work fixing have factory ammo and u can use same mags. U want slow u going get slow 6Br especially u planning shoot 109 and higher.

This was not helpful! Damn it I am stuck in a loop of what I want to rechamber a rifle in...

I feel like I’ve been in a coma for 5 years… when did these rounds come out

Wait wait wait wait are you saying you can fire for your brass during a competition like you can show up with brass that has not been fire formed..... No that can't be what you were talking about cuz you said that you were loading them light for...... Never mind never mind stupid question but I'm still going to leave it up cuz it's already typed and comments help so.... I just misunderstood something you said for a split second there

The audio isn't working for some reason

Ja piet, die distortion is terug. En ek het nie n rekenaar nie. Maar dit is beter op Ander tuie.😕

I’m running the 109 Bergers out of my 6br @ 2778. Am I trying to push the 109 too fast?

No sound on video

What about 6BRA ?

What's up with the sound..?

6gt since I can run it in a gas gun without issue when I'm shooting with the gas gun crowd.

Exactly my thoughts!

what watch are you wearing?

I am going GT. If Dasher has loading problems a smaller cartridge would be worse.

Completely agree!

Cant hear anything .. what's going on

Waar in SA kan mens 109 bergers koop

How close were you to saying what you really wanted to say at 1:30 ha ha ha

No audio

A bit off topic, but could you please tell me where you got the Vortex clock or how I could get one? I’ve searched and can’t seem to find them. Thanks!

What's up with the sound again.....

Wat dink jy van 6xc

Klank is weer stukkend piet. Jou videos het altyd 100 gewerk. Iets met jou exporting te doen op laaste 2 videos

Re edit with sound!

Ek hoor jou van die voordele vir stadiger skiet. Die probleem kom in vir my by onbekende afstande in veldskiete. Die trajek is nie 'forgiving' as jy bietjie uit is met jou afstand skatting nie. Daar heers die vinniger 6mm soos XC nogsteeds.

No sound !!!

Hi, you're last few videos has basically no sound.

Pete what's your thoughts on 223ai vs 223rem match or wylde?

Purely competition ok but if your hunting aswell you go for speed
