Beautiful rifle!! Are you still happy with the dasher? Just retired and thinking of building a fun, extremely accurate rifle. No events just go to range and shoot 1 hole groups giddy happy type of rifle. Any recommendations?

[@GarrettHamilton]

Have been very happy with it. Never has let me down. Currently shooting the 107 Sierra's from it with Varget and it's been loving those. Have about 500-600rd down it now. I reccomend this same setup for the money, sans the stock. You could get a cheaper stock option and save some money but the other combo is hard to beat

[@jimbo3615]

Chuckin and Buffalo Outdoors are my two favorite gun channels. I wish you both did more videos…. :-)

[@ChuckinTV]

That’s a good compliment. I’m also a fan of Buffalo. Good guy

[@vincentkline7656]

Shooting with out eye protection is not a good idea.

[@longsnipz]

Not shooting steel target. How many hunters do you see that wear eye protection while hunting? Let me guess, less than 1%. Shooting paper with a good "earth" backstop , eye protection is optional.

[@vincentkline7656]

@@longsnipz obviously you have little training on the subject. Find me an NRA certified instructor of any shooting discipline who doesn’t recommend shooting with eye protection. Oh wait, you can’t. I won’t even begin on pierced primers! Peace and please be safe.

[@longsnipz]

@@vincentkline7656 good one. 👍 didn't need it while training Scout Sniper course. Nor in bootcamp. Have a good day sir.

Good ole central New York boys. Hey from Auburn New York

[@andy347495]

I've only done a satterlee test once and so far it hasn't shown much promise. It might be thay My gun just doesn't like the bullet and powder.

[@ryancrume]

nice 💪🏽 Impact 737 ordered. Next is 6mm Dasher Bartlein 1.250. Manners TCS Competition. Then an Arken Optic while I lick my wounds for a while, then get something good 😂

[@AHPOutdoors]

Nice video guys. Dasher looks great. Can't wait for some chick videos with it.

[@gsnicholas8522]

This is very similar to the load development process that my uncle taught me 30 years ago. I've experimented with other methods, but keep coming back to his. It's very simple and effective.

[@andy347495]

What do you use for editing videos? I have some rifles that I am going to do some reloading for and wanted to put them on KZbin for the people that enjoy that stuff.

[@ChuckinTV]

Adobe Premiere.

[@cs7285]

How do you go about choosing a seating depth to test? Do you just pick one close to lands and load powder charges at that?

[@GarrettHamilton]

yeah, more or less, we typically don't start anywhere closer than 15-20 thousandths to jam, purely for safety and ease of use, but have found most loads at .040-.010 are best

[@rustynut1967]

30.5 might be a good spot to try if your getting pressure signs around 32. Slower is also sometimes more accurate. We did kind of the same thing doing a ladder test with 6x47L also using Varget and CCI 450 primers. Ended up at 34.8gr 2970fps SD 5 and consistent 3 shot groups at .2" with a best at .070" using "cheap" Hornady 105gr BTHP.

[@andy347495]

When are we going to get some more dasher videos? I'm joansing!

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

Which do you guys prefer, 22-250 or 6mm cm? For varmints.

[@ChuckinTV]

I can’t say 6mm creedmoor because we don’t have one. But my vote would go for the 22-250 just for the sake of lower recoil and ammo cost/availability.

[@bradpittman5075]

I would love to get some more 8208. I only have 2 pounds left. Sad face. I want to try it in my 22 inch arc bolt gun. Anyways. Beautiful rifle man. Dasher is really awesome.

[@markt5450]

Best video I’ve seen in a while!

[@SmallCaliberArmsReview]

As much fun as that may be, you guys put a lot of work into it. Great info and thanks for the video!

[@dripptavis]

What distance was your target?

[@jeremyortman9202]

So at the higher velocities it started grouping tighter at the bottom of the 15 shot group?

[@ChuckinTV]

Yes

That's really interesting ... what sought of chronograph were you using that speaks to you ...

[@ChuckinTV]

It’s a proChrono. It Bluetooths to your phone

[@bchupp1]

what chronograph are you using with audio playback ? thank you

[@codyarmstrong576]

Would like to see how the seekins 300 prc performs at long range. Maybe see what kinda groups you get with loads you’ve worked up for that gun

[@ChuckinTV]

We need to break that out again

[@stephenkrampert3430]

Great video just tuned in who build your rifles for you been looking for somebody to put one together

[@tymarkham3931]

Great video brother thanks for the information and keep them coming 👍🏼

[@andy347495]

Yeah, that was a great video! Keep'm coming.

[@ratagris21]

Great video and very, very informative. Excellent rig and shooting Always look forward to your videos. 🎩🎱🎯🏁♠♦♣♥🌼🌸🏵💙💛🔱🌻🇺🇸🍀

Thanks again!

[@leewithey2014]

Excellent!!!

[@Jdsnipe112]

31.7 play with seating depth a bit and call it a day.

[@ChuckinTV]

Good to see you bud

[@Jdsnipe112]

@@ChuckinTV good to see you guys also. Keep up the great work.

[@MrSjcod]

How did you space your shots? Great video. Thanks for showing how this is done. Been meaning to try it out

[@ChuckinTV]

Fairly rapidly. I cut it down obviously for time sake. But roughly a shot every 20-30 seconds

[@MrSjcod]

@@ChuckinTV interesting. I have a sporter barrell on the particular rifle I was going to test. It will be glowing after 6-7 rounds at that rate.

[@lyndonfisher1974]

what stock is that? ty

A brake on a 6 dasher?

[@connerm4850]

It’s a competition gun

[@jamestboehm6450]

Are you annealing case necks? What dies? I use Redding bushing dies for my 6BR, pushing 3500 with 55gr bt. .375" groups, me likes. Shillen select match bbl, 28".

[@ChuckinTV]

Garrett does anneal

[@GarrettHamilton]

Yessir, I use an AMP annealer after every firing for all of my calibers and we also offer it as a service.

[@eamieva02]

Whats the freebore on the barrel

[@GeirMeyer]

Sweet rigg..lots of love is put in to it

[@bobcat9314]

This video just popped up!..welcome back .. its important a man spends time at the shooting bench isnt it!..it helps focus and settle the mind..that in turn calms the soul..Doesnt it feel weird to realize you have been out of the game longer then you thought ....hahaha i drift in and out of the shooting world..when i come back it seems like its all changed..new powders..new guns..new cartridges new reloading tools and methods new technology...i haven't bought factory ammo in over 32yrs. Other then rimfire.. I come back to shooting and reloading when i run out of ammo....when i look back...ive done the most load development and shooting when i am living good...or maybe im living good because i take the time to shoot.. Humm. Something for a man to consider.. Nice video bro.. Safe shooting to ya

[@halfdollar86]

What height is that Spuhr?

[@dripptavis]

Thanks for taking the time to explain. This was very helpful! Good shootin’!

[@medwynvermin8772]

I am also using the same Satterllee method and have found it to be very good. Given the projectile availability issues I like how economical this method is.

[@magdalenakate6781]

ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ

[@stephenwhittier6439]

👍 😎 thanks again !

[@bruce6099]

Only part of Satterley method you need a target for is seating depth confirmation. Finding the node you can just shoot into a dirt berm, the group while testing the powder charges means nothing to the final result. Satterley has also refined this method to seating depth test with your base charge to find best seating depth for that projectile, then do node confirmation. Personally I still do node first then seating depth only if I need to.

[@joelclark2130]

Thank you you guys did a great job explaining it. Going to give it a try.

[@andy347495]

Someone needs to comercialize the dasher

[@ChuckinTV]

Agreed. You’re getting 243win velocity with way less powder

[@GarrettHamilton]

It's getting close, Alpha makes the brass for it, Peterson does as well, but Alpha gets my monies.
