Re: 10 Great 6.5mm Hunting Cartridges That Are Not the Creedmoor

G'Day Fella's,

Thank You for that load data DarylS, Very Much Appreciated!

FYI. I have been running-in the new barrel of this rifle, by shooting bullets into the bullet trap, beside my reloading bench.
For this, I have been loading up ammo, using ADI Powder- AR-2213SC (H4831SC equiv), Bertram Cases, and CCI, 250 Mag primers, plugged with a Nosler, 120grn B/Tip bullet.

As is my usual, I have created a Dummy Round, with a bullet seated to the correct OAL, to fit and function/feed from the magazine of this rifle.
I then use 5 other cases, that I use to load up, with increasing powder charges.
Once I run the barrel in (firing shots and cleaning the barrel-for 20 to 30 shots), I use the increasing powder charges, to work up to what I refer to as a, Maximum Safe Working Load (MSWL), of this load combination, in this rifle.

Once this process is completed, I then head to the range, and see what the accuracy and chrongraphed velocities of the combination are. I then make any adjustment (to the bullet seating depth and or powder charge), until I am happy with the outcome, and then go hunting.

Hope that helps

D'oh!
Homer
