[QUOTE="Matthew Ford, post: 6994, member: 1572"] Greetings! I need some help here. I have inherited a 6.5 Gibbs from my father. He passed away before he taught me anything about reloading or the gun itself. I have recently been captivated by hunting, guns, and reloading. I have been having a terrible time trying to find out how to fireform brass for it. I have reloaded the fireform brass he left me (most of which is military and is not worth a darn). I guess this is the info I need (or at least I need directions on where to look for it): Case demensions for the brass How to fireform the brass; powder, how much to use, what type, bullet recomendations, anything at all. Recomendations on loads that you have used (I've been using 100 grain bullets with 61 grains of powder). I noticed that Darryl Cassel had one of these for sale a couple of years ago on this forum. If you are out there I'd love to get your help, insight and anything else you might be able to offer about this rifle. It is a hoot to work with, I'd just like to learn more. Thanks in advance for any help I get. [/QUOTE]
