[QUOTE="Pat Byrne, post: 2069696, member: 105361"] I have one and regularly load for it.. If you neck down .270 you will have to trim a good bit.. Neck up a .25-06 case and load and fire, just that easy.. With my reamer which is NOT a turn neck will not accept .30-06 necked down without turning.. I use a Redding .280 Ackley bushing die.. Use the appropriate bushing to size for the .6.5 and you're golden. Right now, with R22 and a 130 NAB I'm running at 3,100+ and brass lasts a long time.. Don't think there's any way I could get 3,300 with a 140 although I have no H1000 to check.. With the 120NBT I run at 3,250fps. Either of these two loads work very well on deer, antelope, pigs, etc.. I've killed quite a bit of game.. Any different than a .270 or .25-06? No.. But still a darn fine set up.. [/QUOTE]
