[QUOTE="DWier, post: 2315962, member: 110165"] I personally have Berger, Lyman and Nosler manuals. Hornady and Sierra are also very good. READ THEM BEFORE YOU START RELOADING. Be careful with primers, doesn't take a lot to set them off. I know a very experienced reloader that got a little sloppy seating primers and is now blind in one eye. I use a hand primer and do not face it when seating a primer. Hold it away from you, under a table or whatever to protect your face. After a primer is in the tool, squeeze just enough to keep it from falling out and turn the primer tray down so if the primer goes off it doesn't ignite the whole tray. H4350, IMR4451 and RL16 are the best in my opinion. Vihtavuori has a powder, N555 designed for 6.5cm. Haven't tried it yet but am starting to work up load with it. Berger AR otm hybrid and Hammers are the easiest to load as they are not sensitive to seating depth. The Bergers are not hunting bullets but kill well. Regarding Hammers I would call Steve at Hammer bullets for his recommendations. Regarding how many grains of powder, ALWAYS start at recommended starting load and work up until you find the most accurate load. NEVER go below minimum and until you get some experience NEVER go above maximum and be careful approaching max loads until you can read pressure signs ( heavy bolt lift, flattened primers, etc.). Feel free to ask anyone here for advice at anytime. I still consider myself a novice (safer that way) and have learned a tremendous amount from LRH. I personally pay more attention to accuracy and how well they group rather than velocity. Be safe, good luck and welcome to LRH. [/QUOTE]
