[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 623973, member: 40885"] I picked up some stuff to just get started and practicing the process. The shop didn't have a ton of selection of 6.5mm bullets so I grabbed some Sierra 85 gr Varminter and 107 gr SMKs, CCI BR2 primers, and H4350 powder. I'd like to see how the H4350 does with the 129 gr SSTs and do some looking in the manuals for something to push the Sierra bullets I picked up. Based on the load data, it seems different bullets, and different weight bullets from the same manufacturer may like different powders completely. They had Nosler BT, Accubond, and Partition. I just wanted to get some cheaper bullets to load and start learning the process myself and load something I could shoot grounhogs, etc without being overkill. Ordered a set of dies as well. I'd like to see how the Nosler Ballistic Tips shoot as well and see how much more velocity I can get out of the 120 gr bullets. I'm hoping to push something in the 120-130 grain range to the 2700 fps mark with accuracy. Maybe that's not reasonable with the 20" barrel as I was only getting 2560 with 46.0 gr of H4831. Above that, the groups started opening up. I don't have the experience to know enough about rifle ballistics to know if the 1/9 twist has more to do with that or the rifle not liking that charge of powder. [/QUOTE]
