6.5

    I’m deciding a new rifle caliber… any thoughts?

    My deer rifle is torn down, getting “remodeled” so my daughter will be able to shoot it/hunt with it when she’s older. So, I’ve saved my pennies, and I’m after a rifle. I’m also working on another”Big Bang” build, so this one will be just my hunting rifle. Mostly deer, with the possibility of...

    Taking a poll: Does your LGS carry 6.5 Grendel?

    Debating switching my main ’get work done’ AR upper from an 18” rifle length 5.56, to an 18” rifle length 6.5 Grendel. I’d like to see first how common it would be to come across ammo without ordering online.

    6.5 Carcano loads with PPU bullets

    Has anyone loaded with Privi's .268 123gr or 139 gr? I'm hitting a brick wall looking for load data. All I'm seeing is data for the Hornady stuff. To be fair, that's what I used to load too, but I'm out, and wasn't getting the best out of them anyway. Thanks in advance, Rick

    Reloading 6.5CM for Ruger Precision Rifle

    Was on the hunt for local scope cap and stumbled across a R.P.R. in 6.5 Creedmoor (for the wife;)). After getting it home and reading the manual I started looking at bullets and powders online. When it came time to order reloading supplies google search was helpful in purchasing dies, brass, and...

    Asking for your learned advice

    I've been reloading for about a year so still pretty new to the game. I'm looking for some experienced advice. I don't know about anyone else but I don't find a lot of load data for Grendel -- and even less using CFE 223. I've been working on a load for Grendel 6.5, Hornady 123 gr SST and...

    Why are there no heavy, ultra-high BC 6.5mm bullets?

    Hey folks, So I'm waiting for a new rifle in 6.5CM to arrive, and I am wondering why none of the major manufacturers (Hornady, Sierra, etc) make any 6.5mm projectiles in the 150gr+ range. Sure mag-length could be an argument, but I enjoy shooting the 208gr AMAX in a 308win which is beyond...

    Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP in 6.5 x 284

    First of all I want to say that it is awesome that there's a 500$ factory rifle package deal offering the 6.5 x 284 Norma chambering. Normally you can only find this round in a custom or expensive rifle. However, I'm having a hard time finding anyone with a review on the 111 XP in this...
