[QUOTE="just country, post: 1086301, member: 82689"] morning, is this a custom rifle or a standard short barrel. I have a custom made 6.5 Mag. on a Remington 721 la action shilen 27.5 barrel, A-5 stock. I set the trigger myself. Did the fitting in the stock myself, has alum. bedding block. Most rem. 6.5M have a short throat to factory spec's. I had a problem with the bullet being seated to deep into the casing, my rifle would not shoot 120's or 140's. So I ventured into the Lapua bullet maker. These bullets r long ogive and seat deeper in the chamber. I shoot the 6.5 GB464 108gr. HPBT Scenar. I did get a box of sierra's in the same weight range. have not tried them. the lapua shoot very well. These bullets r 1" plus in length, the bullet stabilities very well. The groups r .50 and down. I shoot to form the brass to the chamber, then neck size to reload. my load is 60grs ramshot mag. 215, Remington cases and the Lapua bullets. Its said the 6.5M has the same ballistics as the 270Win. So b it. Very little recoil. fun to shot, and is an instant killer. very good to 400yrs. this is our preference. if u have the rifle built, ask the smith to add length to the chamber, so u can seat the standard weight bullets out of the case further. Shoot Shoot Shoot practice makes perfection. T U M Just Countrygun) [/QUOTE]
