Hi I want to makew some practice loads for the 6.5 Mannlicher. I'm not looking for full power with the fast twist. Does anybody have a reciepy (sp)
that works. I don't have time to do a lot of experimentation.

Not to stop anyone else from responding, but look at all the experimentation done with the 6.5x55. Should be reasonably close and there's lots of stuff out there! Do a search on this and a couple of the other cast bullet boards and you'll be amazed.

thanks

Just a heads up that you might not get great results in a fast twist 6.5, even at mild velocities. I was in on the Oldfeller custom 6.5 mold order, and never got decent accuracy even at mild velocities.

I would suggest sticking with a lighter bullet, as it will stabalize at the slower speeds, make sure it is large enough in dia for your bore and throat, and use a powder like unique and keep the velocities in the 1400-1600 fps range.

Lyman had a 120 gr mold but I don't recall if it is still offered.
