[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1185688, member: 70559"] I ran a wildcat 6.5 made from 9.3X64 Brenneke. It has a 26" salt bath nitride treated barrel. The case holds a couple grains more than a .264 Win Mag. It started with GS bullets. Here's some info with that bullet: [B]April 6, 2015, temp about 80*[/B] (kept the ammo inside my long underwear) I fired two shots, walked to the 200 yard target and marked the bullet holes. This gave the barrel time to cool between each two shot string. The primers look okay and there was no bolt lift resistance. I will load 72.0 and up to 76.0 and try again. Load: [B]GS Custom 106HV [/B]@ 3.400”, CCI 250 Magnum, H4831 (from WW2) @ 64.0 – 3271 feet per second; 64.5 – 3269; 65.0 – 3313 65.5 – 3344 66.0 – 3426 66.5 – 3389 67.0 – 3407 67.5 – 3466 68.0 – 3486; 68.5 – 3527; 69.0 – 3546 69.5 – 3621 70.0 - 3627 70.5 – 3676 71.0 – 3701 71.5 – 3692 72.0 – 3761; 72.5 – 3785; [B]April 10, 2015 about 80*[/B] (loads inside long underwear) Load: GS Custom 106HV @ 3.400”, [B]CCI 250 Magnum[/B], H4831 (from WW2) @ 72.0 – 3,754 feet per second 72.5 – 3,804 73.0 – 3,833 sticky bolt lift All the rest were disassembled A little side note: I loaded up some with [B]Federal 215 Magnum[/B] primers. I had to pull the bullets because they generated too much pressure, even with the 71.5 grain load. [/QUOTE]
