[QUOTE="4thHorseman, post: 1719897, member: 105416"] Don't mean to dig up an old thread, but I can;t figure out how to start a new one! I am building a 6.5x65rws on an old Goldenstate arms 30-06 K98 Mauser action rifle. I got a good deal on a LW barrel and plan to mount it in an archangel stock. I purchased a box of brass from Huntingtons( still can' sit down :P ) but my smith says he can headspace it with the case, so I saved the $20 from the go/no go gauges. Currently max cartridge length is 3.27 in my magazine, which is longer than the 3.22 rws load of a 127gr bullet. Plan is to load it with 140gr SST's and Reloader 26. I know I will have to be seating deeper in the case to use these. Case capacity is 69gr H2O( 63 usable with a 140gr seated to max length Question is since there is not much load data out there for this combo can, I use 6.5PRC data as a starting load? I believe it holds 68gr H2O but Hornady is seating the bullets out farther. Hornady data lists 140's and R26 for that round. [/QUOTE]
