[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 2789392, member: 78732"] The Gibbs cartridges aren't difficult to load for - they just take a bit more time than a typical Ackley improved cartridge. Typically, you'll need to establish a false shoulder to headspace off as you are moving the shoulder forward quite a bit. Necking down 270 Win or 280 Rem brass would probably work best. 25-06 work work also, but you may want to expand the necks to at least .264 before necking down to ensure a more robust false shoulder. I have a 6.5 Sherman (very similar to 6.5 Gibbs) and use 270 Win brass. False shoulder method works great. For illustrative purposes, 270 Win necked down to .264 leaving false shoulder. Fireformed 6.5 Sherman round. [ATTACH=full]452993[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
