longrangehunter, I will try to summarize but it is difficult to explain the results without a long boring technical dissertation. That dissertation is written up and available if you want to read it. I would send it via PM. Basically, 6.5mm bullets come in a variety of boattail and ogive...

Patrick, that looks great. You are doing some fine leather work.

Yes, of bullets in the 140-143 gr. weight range, the 140 BT's have the longest straight shank length and the 142 ABLR has one of the shortest.

Ernie, that situation might be called "utopia". ;)

Yes, Roland. You haven't been spending enough time in Western NY lately for me to properly corrupt you with the rifle and component buying impulses. This build is many months away from completion. Heck, with the lead times on the barrels, it may not even get done in 2026. See ya soon.

My gunsmith is building the rifle on a used left-hand Rem. Model 700 chambered in 30-06. The only part we are using is the action itself. We have been working on the specifications for the rifle. It turns out that there are numerous reamers available for this cartridge (6.5-284 Norma). These...

Well done, Mark. Great shooting.

Tina and I have been using these EXOspikes traction footwear this winter and they are amazing. See...

Uh. That happens to other people too???

Anticipation, anticipation...

Excellent performance and shooting.

Yes, indeed. At 15.4 grains per gram, it "would cause some spectacular bad results".

Where do these misguided people come up with this stuff?

Here are a couple of posts for your consideration: https://forum.nosler.com/threads/129-ablr-6-5-cm-in-a-sig-cross.48882/ https://forum.nosler.com/threads/target-bullet-for-6-5-cm.47954/ Also, I believe JD338 has a load for the 6.5 CM using the 129 ABLR and H-4350.

I am not sure about laws against hunter harassment in NYS, but I am fairly confident that there are laws against trapper harassment. I believe is illegal to mess with properly tagged traps. When I was a kid, my uncle told a story where he found that someone had pulled all of his traps in a...

I can vouch for the load data in #1 for the.264 Win. Mag. using the 140 gr. NP and H-870. It worked for me.

I agree with Scotty. Something seems amiss, and that should be sorted out before investing money, time, and effort in load development. Last week my gunsmith showed me a Win. Super Grade M70 that had been brought in because it won't group. It turned out that the chamber was out of alignment...

That is a great combination of rifle, cartridge, load development, and shooting. Congratulations.

That is some great shooting. Congratulations. Good luck with your match.
