Sorry Doc I forgot to thank you.... Great help, as usual ! (y) Besides, there may be a Friend of mine who's going for this chambering.... :wink: JM

Based on your experience with this caliber (and I know some of you Guys have a lot... :P ), how much do you think barrel length affects its performance to a point where it starts to perform badly ? More precisely....do you think a 26" barrel has substantial advantage over a 22" barrel ? How much...

6,5 in general is quite a piercing caliber. I'm using 120 BT's in my 6,5x57 Rimmed Mauser on Roe deer and Chamois. Never been able to recover a bullet, as they all exited.... Shots ranging from 30 to 430 meters. I've noted, however, that this bullet does not expand too well when small animal are...

Yep, it looks like an interesting caliber, working with lower pressure and yet performing quite well. Looking at the data (the few I have, so far...), it should place itself between the .284 Win. and the slightly more powerful 7 Rem.Mag. Barrel twist rate offered should be in the same league as...

Hi Folks, tried a search on the web for reloading data on this caliber with no luck... Is there Anyone who could help ? I think it should (still) be considered almost as a "custom" caliber... Norma doesn't probably publish the data for some kinda agreement with Blaser, I'd assume... :cry...

Thanks Doc ! (y) I didn't hear your pick on which one you'd choose though.... :mrgreen:

Just found out that the 6,5x47 I'm interested in has a 26" barrel with a 1 in 8,6" twist rate. What do you Guys think of this setup ? And what bullet weights would it be stabilized in it and thus recommend it ? Thanks [THUMBS UP SIGN] JM

For long range target shooting (out to a thousand...) and occasional hunting on game up to a Whitetail, which one would you pick, and why ? What are the preferred bullet weights that should be used on each one ? I'd say 105's for 6 mm. and 140ish for 6,5.... What are the relevant velocities...

Thank you for the data. (y) (y) (y) Forgive me if I dare to ask.. :oops: .....but would you possibly run also the 155 Lapua Scenar with the two powders, as well ? Again, appreciate your great help. JM :wink:

If some of you compassionate Guys would take the time to run the following data for me, I'd be grateful (y) : 308 Win. (Lapua Palma Brass) in a 26" - 1 in 12" barrel RWS Small rifle primers Powder : Vihtavuori N140 and Vihtavuori N550 Bullets : - Lapua Scenar 167 grs. - Sierra MK 168 -...

Thank you for the data Dwh7271, I appreciate your help. (y) I will start on the high end, as I previously had good results with IMR4198 @ 3380 fps. Unfortunately, US made gunpowders are becoming quite difficult to get (especially Hogdgon) and therefore I'll have to turn my attention towards...

:oops: Is there Anyone who can please run this "combo" into Quickload : - Norma 200 powder + Sierra Blitzking 40 grs. bullet (#1440 - G1 B.C. 0,196) ....in a 20" barrel length. Thank you in advance for your help. :wink:

Yes, I have removed the sizing button and replaced it with the undersized one. Then I started with the Die well away from the shellholder, adjusting after checking the HS. I had to screw it down almost touching the SH. HS measurement gave me an average decrease of 0.002". Then I have used an...

Hi Guys, I have bought the Redding resizing Die in the subject for the .300 WM and would like to gather the knowledge to properly adjust it. I've read bits here and there... If I understand correctly, this Die works with, let's say, two separate parts....one being the Die itself, resizing the...

Hi Folks, I am going to start reloading for this caliber and just bought the Dies. Redding Bushing Type "S" FULL resizer and Forster Ultra Benchrest Seater. Didn't buy the bushing yet, as a Friend of mine is going to temporarily lend me his... How do I find out the correct bushing size I...

Thanks (y) I will stick to the original BT120, hoping to be able to still find them, as they seem on a trail of extintion over here lately..... :? JM :wink:

Hi Folks, does any of you have experience on the above comparison ? How does the 129 AB LR stands against the 120 Ballistic Tip, both in Accuracy and terminal effects on game ? Is it tougher or softer ? I have been shooting BT120 in my 6,5x57R Mauser for several years with excellent results...

Thanks a bunch, Doc ! (y) Really appreciated. :wink:

What about Windows Phone ? I'm afraid not....[CRYING FACE]
