[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 1621, member: 34"] Hello LTLR Yes, the Gibbs line seems to work great in about any caliber Rocky chamber them to. The 6.5 Gibbs with an 8 twist shooting the 142 Sierra MK is one of my favorite calibers. It will do the job further downrange then my 25 Gibbs will. The 30 Gibbs is a dandy also and VERY easy to work with. With 180 and especially 190 gr Sierra MKs, they are fantastic. To keep from wasting barrel steel, I fireform with the standard loading of the parent case while out woodchuck hunting or breaking in the barrel, which usually takes me about 30-35 rounds to do. Keep shooting and let us know how the rifles are doing. Anyone who has the time to use the equipment they have gathered and have several years of experiance doing so, as it sounds you do, is an asset to the forum. Later DC PS Burn that powder and smell it----It will do wonders for you. You wife or girlfriend may want you to go to the range "More Often" [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Just a little something from my "bag of tricks." It worked so good, even my wife shoots and hunts with me. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
