[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2183006, member: 12282"] But its a pain for 6.5x55 lovers to always have to basically exceed the book numbers. I have a nice old M94 and a modern Tikka T3lite in 6.5x55. The modern Tikka gets its own brass, own loads of course. But I have to basically throw all the book loads out of the window. I use Quickload and I am just fixxing to try a new load in the Tikka, which should easily blow past the 260 and 6.5 Creed. But no book would ever have printed it...... Also, to be clear! An old 120 yo Mauser action is NOT as strong as a modern action. Yes, as much as Karl was a genius, modern metalurgy is far better than the best he could get his hands on. You CANNOT safely load an old Mauser to the same pressures. You may not get signs of pressure on the brass, before the gun itself blows...... [/QUOTE]
