I was shooting my rifle yesterday to finally check it with the load I am going to use for this coming season (starting August 16 btw) and I had 3 cases (out of 12) with cracks in the neck. According to the Lyman reloading manual, those should result from “case fatigue”. I was quite surprised...

130 just doesn't cut it for me :evil: I need a lighter bullet, ideally a 110-115 grs. Does anyone know whether there is a good bullet within this range? :grin: I am now using 120 BT, which does not seem too bad, although I am thinking to switch to RWS 107 grs. KS, if ACCUBOND will be that...

Hi there. Just wondering how often you guys clean your barrel. Which do you think is the best way to do so, to avoid unwanted effects on groups? I shot tested a load yesterday under these conditions: Distance @ 190 yds. approx. Light breeze Outside temperature @ 25 degrees Celsius High...

That may not be a bad idea. If Nosler decides not to stay within the 115-120 grs., I might be very tempted to follow these steps and go with Hornady 129 SP (a very honest, accurate and "freezer filler" bullet). If my choice wasn't Hornady and the price for 6.5 Accubond will be similar to RWS KS...

If I can speak out for European 6.5 Hunters, I'd say something in the 115-125 grs. range would be great, as the 6.5 is mainly considered for Roe deer and Chamois and a flatter trajectory is always very welcome. As an example, RWS offers a 93 grs. SP and a 107 grs. KS in the 6,5x57R (widely used...

What difference do I have if I seat my bullet deeper, using the same powder load and components? ...in the same gun! :wink: Does pressure decrease? Does velocity decrease? Does accuracy decrease? Does trajectory drop? At the end....is it a big deal for hunting purposes and shots out to...

Can any of you Guys advise on a possibly 120ish grain FMJ bullets in .264" ? My intentions are to get a load close enough to be used with the same zeroing, for hunting purposes. I hunt Roe Deer and Chamois and intend to use a 120 grs. Nosler BT or a 129 grs. HORNADY Interlock. I hope it would...

As already said, the 6.5 mm. , being a classic European caliber well used all over, should ideally be available in Accubond bullets such: 120 gr. to be used for small/medium game such as Roe deer, Chamois and other deer family members 140 gr. to be used for Stags, Moose, Wild boar and so on...

Hi Gents, which do you guys think is the best way to go about case cleaning? Tumblers, ultrasonic, else? So far I have been doing it manually, but I am now almost convinced to get this piece of equipment (and a good one). Please, advise on methods and best brands/articles. TY...

Hi Guys, maybe you could help me. I am looking for the best weight bullet for accuracy/trajectory to be shot in a BLASER K95 single shot rifle, 6.5x57R Caliber, 24" barrel with a twist of 8". This rifle (like most of the european made/chambered rifles/calibers) has a very long free...

Forgot to mention: for those of you not too familiar with this caliber, I can say it's very similar to the .260 Rem. Thus, I think same rules apply.... TY

I know there are some tools you can use. Another way is to vertically cut the neck of an empty case, so that the bullet will be held "softly". Then you chamber this dummy round and close the bolt. This way the bullet will be pushed against the lands. Open then the bolt and measure it. You...

Hello Gents, I am reloading a 6,5x57R (Rimmed) caliber using NOSLER 120 grs. Ballistic Tip (awaiting for the Accubond :cry: ) and I would like to know what head space I should be using, to get an accurate and safe cartridge. I am using a K95 Blaser single shot, which has a 8"...

Unfortunately, I think a big miss out for the accubond is not having a .264" bullet. I do not understand why such a fine caliber as the 6,5 mm., very common in Europe is so snobbed on the US market. I think something in the 115-120 grains range would have tremendous success. Calibers such as...
