[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 386393, member: 15748"] ADAIR, Haven't heard anything about this, but I think it's pretty safe to say no, it's not very likely. We make a cartridge that's very similar, the 6.5x47 Lapua. Somehow, I suspect that Dennis and the Hornady crew were eyeing this one when they whupped up the 6.5 Creedmoor. As to the Zediker book, I believe he touches on these issues (I don't have my copy here in the office right now), but there's probably some better sources for such specific questions. Precision Shooting Magazine has put out some books, including one on reloading for competition that was very good. John Feamster wrote a chapter in that one specifc to the Service Rifle. There were other chapters on the quirks and problems of reloading belted cases, and an entire section on Benchrest reloading. Have to verify the name, but if you call Precision Shooting, you should be able to order directly from them. Sinclair used to offer a reloading handbook that was excellent, and updated every so often. Last time I spoke to Bill Gravatt, he mentioned that he'd been working on the latest edition (11th, I think) but just hadn't put it to bed yet. I think the 10th is out of print now, but if you can locate a copy, they're good little guides. No reloading data, but excellent info on procedures and practices that will give you better reloaded ammo. The Lyman 49th is an excellent start, but there's plenty of good books out there that you'd enjoy. I'll take a look at my own shelves and see if anything else jumps out at me. Hope that helps!
