If you want a super 6mm cartridge for BR shooting and don't think you want to go whole hog into that very technical and expensive activity, just stick with a 6 Bench Rest. Proven cartridge, no need to alter brass, and easy to load for. Have heard all sorts of horror stories about the 6 Dasher and am not sure anyone really gained anything from it over a standard 6 BR but thats how competitive shooting goes. I have a prone rifle in 6 BR and that cartridge has never failed me. But -- it is good for punching holes in paper and totally uninteresting for anything else -- to me.

Not surprised you had problems with accuracy shooting what is basically a VLD. If you went with the Lapua 108 or 123 you made a real good choice. They are super bullets for any rifle and not as picky about loads and seating depths as the more VLD types. Now you can realize the potential of a Grendel fired from a well made rifle. Way more versatile than a specialty cartridge like a 6 BR.

LR-55

You hit the nail on the head with those Lapua bullets. We are seeing consistent sub MOA groups with the 123 Scenar using both Accurate 2520 and Accurate 2460.

I sort of decided last night that I’m not going to dump a ton of cash into a 6mm rig for a match-type that I don’t even know if I’ll like. I think I’m going to upgrade the glass on my old .308 chassis gun and work up some custom loads. Until I am sure I like the match, I think “good for a .308” will be good enough for now.
