I haven't forgotten Louis. I should be emailing you soon about it. I have a few things to clear up first. I'm still interested in giving it a run.

If you go to this link & click on view cartridge drawing you 'll see what it looks like. 6.5X50 Jap
This cartridge should be able to equal the 6.5 JDJ due to case volume. However it's only been done a couple of times in a T/C barrel. So far performance hasn't been stellar. I'm going to try my had at handloading it & use T/C Louis' barrel & components to see what it can do.

The only fix for it maybe to AI the case as the taper on it may be too steep. Just a guess anyway.

I guess there's a SLIGHT chance they'd still be available.. one of the guys at the range had used dies for sale for weeks. They were always still there. I dont even know if I've been there since early november... so... they chances are slim.. but...
