I would like some starting loads for 6.5-300 Win Mag 26" barrel 140gr bt using the following powders Rx22+25 IMR7828 H870+1000 or if anyone has a load with a different powder (as long as I can get it here). All I have on hand is 7828. tks Rich Enfields forever (both kinds) | ||

Say if you have a copy of P.O. Ackley's old book check out the 6.5 Mashburn Super. I have the 7 M.S. and the 6.5 is about what you are looking for. I'd love to hear what you find out. Dog | |||

RR: I will list some loads that I tried in a custom rifle that was built on a Ruger action and had a 27 inch Douglas barrel. Since this 6.5 X 300 Win Mag is a wildcat, I have no idea of the pressures these loads generated and you are on your own if you elect to use them. WW cases/Fed 215 Primers/Speer 140 spitzers: 74 grains IMR 7828 3429 fps average R-P cases/ Fed 215 primers/Sierra 140 BT I hope these loads are of some use to you. Good Luck, R F | |||

quote: Pumba, We Canadians tend to stick with a lot of English/European conventions. To us (and most others really, except maybe John Lazzeroni), a 6.5 really is a .264, although I am sure you already knew that. In case anyone that might be reading this is wondering what the heck I am talking about, the European metrics are measured at the land diameter, not the groove or bullet diameter. So, although 6.5mm really is equivalent to .256 inches, the groove diameter of a 6.5 calibre rifle is .264. Similarly, 7mm is really .2756 inches, but the groove diameter is .284. Although it first glance it seems quirky, its really no different than naming a .308 calibre cartridge a .300 XXX Magnum. Canuck [This message has been edited by Canuck (edited 11-07-2001).] | |||

Thanks I'll back them off some and load a few up .The rifle is based on an P14 with a 26" stainless fluted barrel. Rich. | |||
