Lakelander6.5/250 Savage-6.5/250 Ackley.
Anyone shooting one of these rounds?

wookie76No direct experience, but this should be very similar to Ruger and Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor.

seafire/B17Gwhy ding around with either wildcat when you can load a 260 Remington?
all either one is, is a smaller 260 Rem., which you can download a little and accomplish the same MV...neither would be worth the effort and expense

Claret_DabblerIf you must have a smaller case, the 6.5x47 Lapua would be interchangeable and is designed to work with the lighter 6.5mm bullets.

BohicaI made up one of these [6.5-250] many years ago in Hawaii. Actuall the old 6mm International necked to 6.5. Nice target round with the 100 gr bullets for small stuff. Later, in Oregon, I was in JGS one day and met Jim Carnichael who was trying to get Cuthbert to adopt two cartridge designs he said he "invented" , one being the 263 Express [Ken Waters] and the 6.5/250. As we all know now the 263 Express became the 260 Rem. Too bad Mr. Waters didn`t get the credit he deserved!
