Yes, people have already been doing it.

Thanks for the heads up but I have quite the supply! While not a WSM, my 270 Win loves the 130gr Accubonds with Hunter powder. Puts a hurtin' on deer and pigs too! 3 shots at 100 yards with the 270 Win and 130gr Accubonds!

I think everyone got a little off track on this thread. I don't believe he was asking for other loads, but how to get his to work. @Reloader2025 any luck with trying a different sizing die or something else?

That's just the way they're designed. Most hold at least 50% weight retention. If you want more weight retention, try a regular Accubond or Partition. They're usually good for 60-75% depending on specific weight or caliber. If you want even more, step up to Sciroccos, Interbonds, A-Frames, monos...

Midway has them in stock. Only the 175gr 7mm has been released by Swift so far. Their website has a release schedule for other calibers.

Buddy got some and has them shooting pretty well in his Bergara 7mm PRC with Grand. Hes planning to deer hunt with them in the fall. Im waiting for other calibers to come out. Overkill for deer? Yes, but so are Partitions, Accubonds and any other premium bullet but I'm all for it.

Hornady and ADG make 375 Ruger brass. I did a quick search and saw a couple websites with both in stock. ADG is top quality and Hornady ain't half bad either.

I started annealing when I got my first wildcat, a 6.5-270 JDJ and was cracking shoulders on fire forming about 50% of the time. I just started holding the brass in my hand and using a torch, then dropping them into water. Super simple but I plan on getting an annealimg machine soon. Makes a big...

I have not used that particular bullet that you're asking about. However I've used the Speer Impact which is essentially just a tipped Deepcurl. Not fussy at all in my 6.5 PRC Tikka and dropped a nice doe with it. I say go for it.

My favorite cartridge and like JD338, my first was in a Rem 700 Classic. Still have the rifle but added an Encore pistol barrel in the same caliber. 100gr Partitions and 110gr Accubonds are my favorite. Wish one of the premium brass makers would do a run of Roberts brass.

Very similar for sure, but 60° shoulder and blown forward even more, so more capacity than any AI on the 30-06 or 30-03 case.

That's interesting, I know Federal has/does load Hornady bullets but the load there is identical. Is the Federal brass marked FC?

The factory 147's shoot great in my 6.5 PRC, but doing less than 2800 in a 24" barrel. I wish I had an AI case on the 30-06 family to compare to my 6.5-270 JDJ. I think I have a 280 AI somewhere but I'm in the middle of moving, so it'd be hard to find. Here's a pic of a FF'ed 6.5-270 JDJ with...

Awesome looking rifle and cool caliber. As you've proven, fire form loads can be quite accurate! I hunted with & killed several deer and hogs with my FF loads for the 6.5-270 JDJ.
