The chart below is computed using the same G7 point-mass engine that powers the Long Range Science calculators, using the Berger 105 gr Hybrid Target as a reference load for the 6mm Dasher. The 6mm Dasher is a wildcat with no factory ammunition or published SAAMI pressure spec — cases are fireformed from 6mm BR. This reflects the most common competition handload: Berger’s 105 gr Hybrid Target over Varget. Treat it as a starting point — always true it to your own rifle and chronograph.

Drop and wind are come-up corrections (dial/hold up). Wind is a 10 mph full-value crosswind via lag-time approximation. Values assume a 100 yd zero and standard atmosphere.
These numbers are a reference load, not verified DOPE. Differences in your actual muzzle velocity, barrel length, and local air density shift the solution — especially past 600 yards, and even more once the bullet slows toward the transonic zone. Confirm your true velocity with a chronograph and validate on steel before trusting any chart downrange.
Key Takeaways
- Supersonic to ~1,327 yards — enters the transonic zone there in standard atmosphere; cold or high-altitude air pushes it farther.
- Holds 1,000+ ft·lb to ~549 yards.
- ~2.5 MIL / 8.6 MOA at 500 yards, ~8.0 MIL / 27.5 MOA at 1,000.
- ~2.0 MIL of wind at 1,000 yards in a 10 mph full-value crosswind — despite being a decades-old wildcat with no factory ammo, still the single most-used cartridge among top PRS shooters.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 6mm Dasher drop at 1,000 yards?
With the Berger 105 gr Hybrid Target at 2925 fps and a 100-yard zero, roughly 7.99 MIL (27.46 MOA), about 288 inches, under standard conditions. Your exact drop depends on your true muzzle velocity and air density, so true your data before relying on it at distance.
Is the 6mm Dasher supersonic at 1,000 yards?
At 2925 fps it retains about 1480 fps at 1,000 yards and stays supersonic to roughly 1,327 yards. Colder, higher-altitude air extends that range further; hot low-elevation air shortens it.
Should I use G1 or G7 BC for the 6mm Dasher?
Use G7 for this bullet’s boat-tail match profile — the G7 standard projectile matches its shape, so the drag curve tracks reality better across the trajectory. This chart uses a G7 BC of 0.275 (G1 0.536).
What zero does this 6mm Dasher chart assume?
A 100-yard zero with 1.8 inches of sight height. A different zero shifts the whole table — enter your own zero in the Ballistics Calculator to regenerate it for your setup.
