[QUOTE="floppy, post: 2785960, member: 124646"] The easiest way for me is to use inexpensive bullets in that caliber and a powder that has load data for the cartridge you're loading. Use the lowest recommended starting load and to the recommended oal and go to the range. Make sure you don't rush the process and overheat the barrel. Always anneal the brass after this process. Not asked but I'll offer this information. Over the last year I put together a 257 Roberts Improved, 6mm-06 and a 6.5-06. The 257 Roberts brass started as 7mm Mauser, the 6mm-06 used 25-06 and the 6.5-06 used 270 Win. As odd as it may sound I use One Shot spray lube on the cases then use a foam Q tip with a light coating of Lucas assembly lube on the inside and outside of the neck and then resize the brass. No damaged brass through hundreds of resizeings. [/QUOTE]
