As we are pressured more and more to move away from lead, I don't see manufactures spending their R&D dollars to expand their lineup to offer new or redesigns of lead bullets. I'm just wondering when, not if, Colorado will require the use of lead-free bullets.

A very nice buck, and thanks for sharing your story. I don't own one yet, but I truly believe that the 6.5x55 is as good as it gets for deer.

I marvel at the ideas the members come up with when constructing a blind.

Well built! Very nice!

That was the first bullet that I used to load for my 7mm Remington Mag with IMR4831 in 1965. No chronograph in those days but I'm sure they weren't much stiffer than a good 30-06 load. A friend and I used that load to harvest a number of deer, bear, and elk.

I've always had a soft spot for the .222 Rem. My first was a Savage 340 and my current is a CZ 527. I have not put nearly as many rounds through the CZ as I did the Savage but it loves just about load with 50, 52, or 53 grain bullets.

I would contact Impact Precision. They catalog an extractor kit.

There are so many good bullets being produced today that seems that it seems to me it is just a point of personal preference.

That should pack a wallop out both ends

What are you using to separate your brass from the SS pins when you're done tumbling?

Welcome! It looks like that load really works well for you. Have you used that load to take anything else?

I'm shooting 154 gr, not 150s. I found IMR4350 to be a good powder with them.

I have a 96/44 also. I used it to take a 146 class whitetail at 153 yards on the marsh. I didn't drop in its tracks, but only went about 80 yards. It was before I had started handloading for .44 Rem Mag, and was using 240 gr Winchester ammunition that was really meant for a handgun. For some...

It would be surprising that Cabela's and Bass Pro would be associated with a card company that is anti-gun.

I have the Capital One/ Cabela's card and have not had an issue with it getting denied. I do occasionally receive a text from them , if I've made a large purchase. On another issue with using cards are restaurants that add 3- 3.5% to the tab for using it. For what they're charging for what I see...

Reloader 15 with 225 grain SGK. My second choice for powder is H4895.

That is a great rifle, and I'm looking forward to hear how it shoots. The 6.5X55 is an ideal white tail cartridge, but it can do so much more.

The Sierra 225 gr with Reloader 17 has been a match made in heaven for my son's Remington 7600 chambered in 35 Whelen.

For me, a 200 gr is plenty. But if you want to go heavier, that is fine too.

That is a find worth having!
