Help with reloading the Weatherby 6.5 RPM

[mnhunter2]

I'm starting to build loads for my Weatherby 6.5 RPM that will be for hunting, I have been happy with Berger bullets in my 300 WTBY and have 6.5 140 and 156 gr EOL hunting bullets and am looking for a lighter bullet to work with in the 6.5RPM. On powders I have H-1000, RL25 and RL33 to start with, should I be using any others? I have talked with Berger tech support and they are just starting to build loading info also so it's kinda just getting going. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Find another 6.5 with similar case capacity and size and use that data. Step down a decent amount and work up.

264 win mag looks very close in case capacity.

The 264 win. Is what I used before load data was widely available.
This is still valuable information because of power shortages. Load data for the 264 win has way more powder options.
Lots of information on line to help guide you safely though the process. Start low with charge weights and work up slowly.

Cant work on load data until you decide on a bullet.
