[QUOTE="Lee in Texas, post: 6998, member: 1579"] Matthew- I have a 1kBR rifle in 6.5 Gibbs. My original load was 57gr of R22 with 142gr Sierra match Kings. This was accurate but hammered the brass. It was only good for 3 or 4 shots. At a buck apiece, that was just not enough case life. I bought this brass while in Germany for half what it costs in the US, btw. I've had good luck backing down to 54gr of R22 with 142gr Sierra MKs. I fired a 3/4" 10-shot group @100yds off a friend's bench in his back yard. No signs of pressure, no sticky bolt. It was smooth as butter. [ 09-13-2003: Message edited by: Lee in Texas ] [/QUOTE]
