Ive used 2 of them, still using one for the shorts or decent conitions. I love my little Dasher for those times when a big wind beater is not needed. My 1st barrel liked 32gns of 2206H while my new one prefers 31.6gns 2206H with either Berger Hybrid or 103 copperhead jumping 010"
These loads are around the 2950 fps mark, but I would try them up at the higher 3050-3080 fps node if I didnt already have bigger calibers to take over when better balistics are needed.
I,m currently getting my 3rd Dasher barrel chambered at the moment to use in 1000yd BR LG.

I run my Dasher at a bit over 2950 fps, 32.8 gn 2208, moly'ed
105 gn Lapua Scenar through a 28" Krieger barrel.
About the same weight of Reloder 15 has also work well for me.
As mentioned,
they can be pushed a bit harder but at this speed the brass rarely
needs a trim and the primer pockets stay firm. A great little cartridge!
cheers,
Chris

You can never carry too much ammo...
unless you are drowning or on fire.

I got my 6mm Dasher specs from Robert Whitleys website...
http://www.6mmAR.com/6mm_Dasher.php
Sent a copy of the print to PT&G who made the reamer
and sent it to the guy who chambered my barrels.
Works fine with off-the-self Redding Dasher dies.
cheers,
Chris
