Re: New (to me) 256 Mannlicher

I picked up 200 Remington 303 British brass. The rims are all .527 and the bases .448. I trimmed them to 2.110 and used a 308 trim die to set the shoulder back, a 7mm-08 die to take the neck down and finally a pass through the 6.5x53R die set to zero clearance and I had the cases made. A final trim and they were ready to load. I loaded 100 with some Hornady 100 grain bullets I had no other use for and fire formed all the cases Monday. It made a good way to pass the time while I was waiting for the barrel to cool between groups on another rifle.

I have Hornady 160 grain RN bullets loaded with several different powders looking for 2200-2300 fps and the best accuracy. I'm trying RL-15, IMR 4831, AA4350, and N160. I'll have a group therapy session at the range Monday.
