[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1098393, member: 605"] I've had a 264 win mag for about 12 years and decided I want a heavier barreled rifle to use with a suppressor. I was going to build a new 264 but have since decided to try the 6.5 Leopard/6.5 WSM/6.5-300, depending on what you call it. This will be a hunting rifle only once a load is developed. I've got 500 pieces of new Norma 270 WSM brass and 1000's of CCI 200's and 250's (found the 200's best in all the 264 loads). I've got lots of Retumbo, R33, 7828 and 7828 SSC. I see a number of people use Magnum and H1000 in their 264's which, I'd guess, translate well to the 6.5. I've searched and found people using R22 and Retumbo with 140's in the 6.5. I plan to use Matrix 150's, Berger Hybrid 140's or Scirocco 130's. I had planned to find accurate loads for all three bullets and choose the one with best velocity but I'm thinking my barrel might be toast by the time I figure it out! Can any of you 6.5 shooters share some of your loads? [/QUOTE]
