[QUOTE="Jokostel, post: 1193645, member: 39379"] In a world saturated with 6.5mms already, may I ask why do this, unless it's just a "because I can or because I want it project" ? The production 6.5mm Hotrods out there... 26 Nosler and the 6.5-300 Roy both have strong and plentiful brass.... Either way.... you're going to be stuck with some uber magnum propellant choices... especially if you want 140/160 grain bullets in the mix... and I'm assuming you do... WC872,US869 RL33,RL50 would be a dang good start.... I've got 2 26s... the problem is.... when you start looking at 140 load data for THAT cartridge in particular, it becomes butchered.... short of two propellants... RL50 and US869. I've settled on making both of mine barn burners with 130s @ ~ 3450. [/QUOTE]
