[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 1681856, member: 104613"] Don what part of Canada are you from? Any relation of Mr. Weldon Parsons? I believe he has since passed on but we met him in Saskatoon about 11 years ago at a farmers market stand, my Dad had the stand beside him, and he befriended me and my brothers, we sat and soaked up the stories of his guiding and trapping days, he also gave us an autographed book which I read more times than I can count! How do I tell if I have the 55,000 proof or 65,000 proof? my action has Husqvarna Vapenfabrinks 1942 stamped on top. Also has only a 20.75" barrel so that might hinder velocities. I'm probably going to need a crhronograph for this gun, is the Caldwell basic any good. Seems affordable and stocked at Cabelas. I am familiar with inspecting my 30-30 brass for case head separation using a bent open paper clip inside down by the case web and quick visual from outside, if there's a crack starting the paper clip should catch, so far I'm doing the same with the 6.5, this is every loading for both cartridges. for sizing I screw the die down until it just touches the raised ram, then size one and see if it chambers easy, screw down 1/8 turn until they chamber smoothly, then size the whole batch. I haven't had a separation or even crack yet. Trying to size as little as possible and my 30-30 loads won't chamber in my Dad's 1963 Winchester, mine is 1942 and chamber smoothly. I need new brass for the 6.5, Tradeex.ca currently doesn't have Lapua, but they have once fired Norma or new Prvi for $20 less, is the Prvi any good? [/QUOTE]
