Loaded up a lot of 6mm International. Finally have gotten the kinks worked out and she feeds and extracts like a champ. 
Did find however that the case necks will not hold my custom 68 grain bullets with decent enough neck tension (about half the brass ). So these will be loaded with Hornady 87gr. and Sierra 85gr. bullets which seem to be "just right". I will be working up a load for these rounds for use in the gopher fields. Guess I should not complain this brass has been sized, trimmed etc. several times and still works. |
Forming 6.5x284 from .280 Rem.?
Hirsch Precision show's 6.5x.284 in stock also.
