[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1571825, member: 17593"] I HAVE 2 RIFLES IN 6 cm AND A 6.5 cm. WISH I HAD A THOUGHT AHEAD AND DID WHAT YOU DID! I was shooting Hornady Black with their 105HPBT and it shot extremely well so I did not think about reloading it til recently. Same with the 6.5 and now I just ordered a set of dies for it. Twice the price! Duh! As for loading the 6 CM, I stayed away from H4350 for 2 reasons: hard to get and hot gasses. I tried several powders and started low. All shot very, very good. Settled on RL 19 and the 108 ELDs. Running aprox. 3100fps, no pressure signs and danged good accuracy! Stayed at the starting loads. Not sure why you have maxed out, but I wonder if the neck brass is too thick and causing the pressures. I did try to neck down a couple 6.5s myself just for S&Gs, but without turning necks, they would not go in my chambers. [/QUOTE]
