Ernie, There is no doubt that you out class me all the way around. I could only dream of shooting like you. I have seen some of your equipment and it is exquisite. My 6.5 CM rifle is not a target shooting set-up. I would call it a good hunting set-up except the action is not bedded. It does...

Mark, thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I have a .263" expander. I just ran it through the remaining 14 new cases that I have. I will try the same load as the last one above the .263" expander. I have H-4350 but I have been saving it for once I have fired 50 of the new cases. I have a lot...

Ernie, Yes, factory rifles are not always capable of consistent ragged groups, and this is a factory rifle. In reality, I would be happy with consistent 1/2 M.O.A. groups. All of my rifle reloading experience has been for hunting applications, using hunting bullets. I have NEVER tried to...

I have a LH Ruger M77 chambered in 6.5 CM. My main interest in this rifle is for training and short-range target shooting (200 yards). I have already found a hunting load with the 129 gr. ABLR, but that is not what I intend to use the rifle for. I am not familiar with what shooters use for...

Guy, it seems to me that this helps to make the case that hunting is a tool to be used by professional wildlife managers to help maintain game (and predators) at healthy population levels.

You are welcome.

Great story. Glad you got to share a great experience with an old friend.

Well, if you did want to sell it, I would like to talk to you about it.

Very nice. Congratulations on making the best out what a good thing.

I bet it would kill a "big buck in the swamp".

Hmm. Looks like you are developing a "big buck in the swamp" rig for a young lady...

Rodger, I just found this post. You are most welcome. I am grateful for the advice, help, and support I have received from members of this forum. The number of incidents where I have been on the receiving end of help are too numerous to list. I have had the good fortune to meet several...

I must be the odd man out here. I like to have about 100 cases or more on hand for each cartridge I load but, I don't really load a lot ahead since I am always trying this, or trying that, or can't get this component or can't get that component. So, I load only enough for that hunting season...

Bullets taken.

Excellent work.

Looks good.

Ah, some you may be old enough to remember a song from the 1960's that had the lyrics, "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they would never end..."

Although it is unlikely, if you think the chamber neck might be too short, you could check the length of the chamber neck with one of these: https://www.brownells.com/reloading/measuring-tools/case-length-gauges/sinclair-chamber-length-gage/?sku=749000811

Oh yes. Cast off and cast on make all the difference in the world! I am glad you got it sorted out. Congratulations on your personal best with that shotgun.

These bullets are ALL still available.
