    Quick load request for 6.5-06

    Working with a Sako 85 that was a .30-06 and re-barreled. Brass is Hornady .25-06 resized, 2.485", Fed primers, 140 Nosler AB, Vihtavuori N165, OAL of 3.260", that seems to be the most consistently accurate. The rifle did well with IMR 7828SSC, but that's scarce. Anyone found anything else...

    .270 Starline brass to .25-06

    Last fall when I decided to get another .25-06 the supply of brass was looking grim. I knew I had a bit of time to wait for the rifle. I ordered some .270 brass from Starline. I've got the rifle, got the brass, and have started sizing it. I'm wondering if the .270 would have less available...
