    I never thought they’d make a belted mag again and with the quick adoption of the PRC calibers and the plethora of new dasher brass coming to the market I’m crossing my fingers that dasher is on the way next year.
     
    Would have guessed dasher over 284, but recently learned that’s what all of F class uses.

    None of the others surprise me. People seems to be dying for PRC brass lately
     
    6.5PRC is basically a 6.5mm magnum?

    Yes the 6.5 PRC is basically a magnum 6.5 cartridge.

    I’m pretty sure (could be wrong) but 6.5 mag is belted. I’ve never handled a 6.5 gap 4s but I’m 80% sure the best way to think of it is a commercially available version of that.

    The 6.5 Gap 4s/SAUM is a SAUM/WSM cartridge where as the 6.5 PRC is a more conventional long action magnum cartridge.
     
    Anyone have any info on preorder or when it’ll actually be available? Can’t seem to find it anywhere

    I see now where it says spring of 2021 for first availability.
     
    Lapua will never make dasher brass. They sell enough BR that there's no justification for the re-tooling. People who shoot dasher are going to buy lapua BR anyway.
