[QUOTE="sullijr, post: 97000, member: 3503"] I have a 6.5-300 on a Ruger#1 actionand a buddy has two built on B78's so far every thing is great>over 1000 rounds with no loss of accuracy,excellent accuracy out to 1300 yds half minute.One note we find that 270WSM brass is easier to resize,the neck must be turned or the throat opened upResize one and seat a bullet to get a measurement.We have been using the 270WSM loading data and using the min loads as a 6.5 max guideline and starting down 5% and working up so far accuracy has stopped me from finding max loads as far as pressure is concerned.When they shoot bugholes why keep going..Failure to turn the necks gave pressure signs as they tend to hold the bullets in quite tightly.Also we found that neck resizing doesn't work with any of the shortmags they need to be full length sized.The upside is that the cases (Win)are lasting very well. I have not got less than 10 reloads on a case so far, and when the failures occured at 12 it was split neck on two out of the 25 cases that I was keeping track of.Keep us informed of the powders it will be good to know how it goes.We have had good luck with H1000 and RETUMBO.
